Welcome!

Welcome, one and all, to "Dress Your Family in Carhartts and Camo," a blog about Idaho from a group of Intro to Creative Nonfiction undergraduate students living in Moscow, ID.  Moscow is home to the University of Idaho and is the state's self-proclaimed "heart of the arts."  And as Brenda Miller proclaims in her guide to writing creative nonfiction, Tell it Slant, as writers "[w]e are artists creating artifice."  This blog is our attempt to make something literary and meaningful out of the people, places, and things we encounter on a daily basis, to make them come alive on the page (or, more accurately, on the screen).  We'll look for the extraordinary in the ordinary.  We'll try to make connections, discoveries, and meaning.  We'll try to be funny.  We hope you'll laugh, enjoy it, and read on.
