Bonfire is a multi-generational storytelling event held the first week of every month at the Chico Women's Club. June's theme is WE MEET AGAIN. We've invited all the storytellers from the past year of Bonfire to come back to the stage with a 6 minute personal story in this theme. Each night will feature a different multi-generational lineup, and the whole run will be a celebration of all we've done in the past year.
