A little wordplay. A little holiday magic. A whole lot of fun!

Join Poetry & Prose Network for a festive gathering where snowballs fly, secret words sneak into conversations, and unexpected connections happen. Whether you love poetry, spinning tales, meeting fellow creatives, or simply soaking up the seasonal spirit, you’re welcome here.

❄️ Five Festive Activities

Try one activity or all five! Participate as much or little as you like. No experience necessary.

❄️ Snowball Fight: Catch or pick-up a mystery word and see where it takes you! (Low-mobility friendly.) 

💬 Snowball Word Mingle: Meet someone new, keep a secret word under wraps, and slip it into conversation without giving yourself away!

🔗 Unexpected Connections: Discover how a single random word can spark a funny moment or a surprisingly deep conversation.

✍️ Snowball to Story: Transform your mystery words into a short poem, flash fiction piece, or a group draft.

🎤 Share the Story : Share a short creation or a favorite seasonal poem in a supportive, low-pressure circle or simply sit back, listen, and enjoy!

🎄 More Ways to Celebrate

🍪 Potluck: Bring a favorite holiday snack, treat, or drink if you'd like. No need to bring anything to join in!

✨ Dress Festively (or Don’t!): Break out the holiday sweaters, seasonal sparkle or come in whatever you're comfortable wearing.

🛋️ Cozy & Chill Zone: Need a breather? Unwind in our designated chill zone. Join the activities as much or as little as you like.

🍻 Keep the Evening Going: Afterwards, join us for a stroll to check out Redmond Lights or grab a cozy drink and/or bite to eat nearby.

❤️ Come as You Are

No writing experience needed. Just bring yourself and your holiday spirit.

Let’s celebrate the creative community that makes PPN so special.
