Poetry Slam Thursday 8:30 p.m. – 10 p.m.
The well received and popular Poetry Slam is back for a third year! Poetry doesn't just come to life, it bounces off the walls in this popular spoken-word event. Hosted by Kristen Underwood, co-director of ArtHaus in Decorah, Iowa, the MOSES Poetry Slam is a good-natured, supportive environment for all—with extra points for food-and-farming-themed writing! Sign up to present two minutes or less of your own poetry in "Original Voices," join in the "Slam," a high-spirited competition complete with applause-o-meter and prizes, or simply come to enjoy the show. Sign up via email: krim@earthlink.net.

Here's what is showing in the screening rooms: Queen of the Sun: What are the Bees Telling Us?; Farmageddon; Brunswick; Symphony of the Soil; and Dive! All films screen multiple times so you can fit a flick into your conference schedule.

The always fun and popular Children's Show is back! Young conference attendees perform an original play and design and build a simple set. Costumes are provided.
