  1. It's a team effort at the Cathedral Village Arts Festival! We have a great community of writers who volunteer on the Literary Committee. This year, Brenda Niskala, Tara Solheim, Debra Bell, Paul Wilson and Jackie Lay were part of the team along with representatives from the SWG and Connaught Library. We attracted almost 400 bodies into seats at our 6 events. That is an amazing show of support for the literary arts! Thanks to all who came out to make it happen!
