The Our Town Program is a biennial community arts program that focuses on a different arts discipline each cycle.  Photography and poetry have been featured in previous years. The 2010 Our Town, Voices & Verses, grew out of the first Our Town, Faces & Places, which featured photography. Verses & Voices focused on poetry and had the following three goals:  

1. To celebrate the power of poetry in all its forms (written and spoken)
2. To provide local poets with a place to  showcase their work
3. To highlight the essential nature of poetry to bind us together as a community
