This year's Thin Air events at Red River College feature a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick maker--by which I mean a fiction writer, a non-fiction writer, and a poet, but multi-talented all. I probably shouldn't have called anyone a butcher. Visit www.thinairwinnipeg.ca for the complete festival program. All are welcome!
