Word–Off 2022
We are sad to
announce that the in-person 2022 Word-Off has once again been put on hold.
We will however,
throughout February, be hosting a month-long, online Facebook page for folks to
post recorded contributions, new and old.
To honor and
remember our friend, Pablo Menudo, the theme for this year’s contributions
is
“Elephant
Dreams”.
As always, this
is a jumping off point for tall tales, poetry and other original contributions.
If you have something you want to contribute that is inspired by, kinda comes
close or has absolutely nothing to do with the theme, we would love for you to
post it on our Terlingua Word-Off 2022 Facebook page which
will be officially open on Groundhog Day, that’s the 2nd of
February.
The Big Bend Citizens Alliance (BBCA) will hold a regular meeting on
