Independent Groups
CWG does not sponsor or oversee groups listed below. They are community groups and are open to public participation.
- Open Mic at The Well
Group meets every Monday at The Well, 1800 Rossville Avenue, just off Main Street. At 7:30 pm, there is a potluck supper, and other festivities begin at 8:00. Poets, authors, musicians, stand up comics, spoken word artists, performance artists, and singer-songwriters are welcome. The venue is a church and has some restrictions on content, though some performers have pushed that envelope a bit.
