July 18, Scavenger Hunt and Dinner at Old Bricks

Between the Lines updates (international writing program)

Scavenger hunt is an American game in which organizers prepare a list of tasks and participants in teams have to complete them first. In Iowa, where every second person in the street is a writer, the scavenger hunt is literary, so students were to solve literary tasks. Example 1: write 1 sentence about the end of the world. Write 2 sentences about how to save the world. Example 2: write 3 sentences about people you see in the street. Example 3: find out who was a Slavic writer in Iowa. Example 4: in the bookshop, find a book, a quote that characterizes you, explain why.
During the hunt I had a group dinner with Summer Writing Festival program at Old Bricks Events center. Mosaic windows arched to the ceiling, drew in the rays of sun exploring the first Presbyterian church. Built in 1836, now it combines charity food program ‘Table to Table’ and events center. Computer cabled to speakers, tables and chairs in a spacious hall, bread pudding for dessert, wine bar in the back room and note ‘Tips are absolutely legal’. Yes, it’s all in the former church. I could easily imagine it’s absolutely proper to conduct Sunday services here on. American style
