LAKE OSWEGO CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION

The city of Lake Oswego, home of William Stafford, will celebrate it's 100th birthday this summer. The festivities are designed to honor the past and celebrate the present.

To help in the festivities, the Lake Oswego Centennial Poetry Project, the Friends of William Stafford and the Lake Oswego Library will be hosting a special Evening of Poetry to honor it's most famous poet.

A special historic Broadside has been produced for this event that will feature an archival photo of early Lake Oswego and a poem by Mr. Stafford titled, "Climbing Along The River." This comemorative broadside has been beautifully produced in a limited edition by John Laursen of Press 22, and will be available for sale at the event. In addition, a Chapbook featuring a juried selection of poems by Lake Oswego residents, past and present, will also be available at this event.

The reading will begin at 7:00 p.m. at the Lake Oswego Public Library and will last until 8:30 p.m. For more information, you can call 503-674-2540.
