Join writer and educator Meg Gladieux for Tell Your Story — a free drop-in zine workshop designed exclusively for teens ages 11–17.
What’s a zine? Think mini-magazine meets personal journal meets art project — totally yours, totally you. Whether you love writing, drawing, collaging, or just have something to say, this is your space. Meg will provide guided templates for beginners and open-ended prompts for teens who want to dive deeper into their own stories. No experience necessary!
Meg Gladieux is the 2025 recipient of The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow’s “Real People, Real Struggles, Real Stories” Fellowship, awarded to a writer working on a nonfiction project exploring personal experiences with mental illness. Her work sits at the intersection of storytelling, mental health, and advocacy.
This event is free and open to teens ages 11–17. Space is limited — reserve your spot today!

The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow is honored to present our June Poetluck, featuring poet and educator Julia Paganelli Marín.

Poetluck is a beloved community gathering that brings writers, readers, and literary enthusiasts together in a warm and welcoming environment. The evening begins with a potluck meal at 6:00 PM, followed by open mic readings at 6:30 PM. Guests are invited to bring a dish to share if they wish, though it is not required.
Writers of all genres and experience levels are encouraged to participate in the open mic and share poetry, prose, or works-in-progress. Readings are kept to 3 to 5 minutes so everyone has a chance to share. Poetluck offers a supportive space to connect, listen, and celebrate the written word in community.
This event is free and open to the public.
