Are You Our Type? Do you enjoy
Then "Typing Around Town" is a literary celebration you won't want to miss! Every Wednesday and Saturday during October, step into your favorite local cafe and share your stories of growing up or living in Chico. Themes change weekly and will touch on certain aspects that make Chico unique. Sit down at one of the vintage typewriters and tell your tall tales. All ages are encouraged to participate, from 5 to 95! Your stories will be collected and published in a book that will be available at local businesses. Be a part of this literary celebration of life in Chico!Participating Cafes Beatniks Coffee House (Olympia Werke AG, Wilhemshaven)

Themes Week 1- Preserving Chico’s natural surroundings is an important part of the city’s culture and lifestyle. The town has abundant wildlife and beautiful scenery. During the hot summer months, Bidwell Park offers a cool retreat for Chico residents. What is your fondest memory of spending summer days in Bidwell Park? What or where is your favorite part? Where is your favorite nature spot? Do you have any funny, surprising or scary stories involving close encounters with Chico’s wildlife population? Week 2- Chico is ranked as the number 10 Art Town in America. How has Chico’s rich art culture influenced you? Has the town inspired you to create something of your own? What is some of your favorite public art (murals, sculptures, mosaics)? Week 3- Recreational activities abound in Chico. Whether you walk, bike or run, there is always something to do. There are places to go rock climbing, swimming and even fishing! Share your stories about your favorite recreational activities and where in Chico you enjoy doing them. Week 4- Halloween is a time for scary and exciting fun. It is also a time for urban legends and spooky stories. Ever had a scary experience with the ghosts at The Senator or tried to find the underground tunnels of downtown Chico? Every town has their own urban legends and tales. Get into the spirit of Halloween and share yours!
