Free Zines in the Park July 8 With Carolyn Swiszcz

Local stories depend on you. Support West St. Paul Reader.

Come to the art park at the corner of Oakdale and Butler for a Free Zine event on July 8 from 6 to 8 p.m. Local artist Carolyn Swiszcz will be handing out zines and connecting with people to talk about art, West St. Paul, and more.

A zine is a small, self-published book. Swiszcz has been publishing her own Zebra Cat Zebra zine since 2017, and the latest issue focuses on Signal Hills:

Residential real estate services serving Minneapolis, St Paul and the Twin Cities Metro. Looking for a Realtor to help you buy, sell or invest?

The event will feature other zines besides Zebra Cat Zebra and will include how to make your own zine. Mask wearing and social distancing is encouraged.

We rely on your support to do local stories like this.
