We're pleased to announce that Fray Day will make its debut in Florida this year. We'll gather Thursday, October 2, from 8 p.m. until midnight in the historic yet funky Stover Theatre on the campus of Stetson University.

Stetson is in DeLand, halfway between Orlando and Daytona Beach off of I-4, and not that far away from Gainesville and other places; the theatre is located right off 17-92/Woodland Blvd. To get here, follow the directions to the university, except after passing Minnesota and the main gate, turn left on University and navigate around the tennis courts to the grass parking lot in front of the theatre.

We hope many Floridians (and visitors) will make the trek. If you have any questions, please let me know.

By the way, Nancy Barber and I will be hosting the event, along with Poetry at an Uncouth Hour (the weekly open mic event sponsored by the university's literary magazine, Touchstone), and with the help of the Sullivan Endowment for Writing.
