*** CHANGE IN VENUE- NEW LOCATION BELOW ***

Workshop 3: Father and Son
Saturday, June 22 | 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. 
Rondo Community Library
461 Dale St N., Saint Paul

Join Ben Weaver and his son, Frankie in this workshop to write with your kids and explore the experience of fatherhood from your own and your kids’ perspectives. As fathers, how do we want to support our children? What do our children have to teach us about how we can rise to the occasion of being who they need us to be? Build community with other fathers and their children. This is a workshop for anyone who identifies as a father and whoever they consider to be their children.
