WRITERS’ MOTIVATIONAL GROUP

A writers’ group where members discuss and practice writing, encourage one another, report progress, and respond to short writing prompts. This program is for adults only. We meet from 4:00-5:00pm on Thursdays, June 11, July 2, and August 13.

OREGON TRAIL LIVE!

The notoriously hard to win Oregon Trail video game has been revived as an in-person group activity. Form a party and travel the Oregon Trail, where you will face many obstacles, very likely die, and try again…and again. That’s what makes it fun! Bring a friend or five because the game is best with larger parties. This program takes place at 5:30pm on Wednesday, August 5, and is for adults only.

BAD ART NIGHT 2


Enjoy the freedom of creating deliberately bad art. Vote on the best worst art. All supplies are provided. This program takes place at 5:30pm on Wednesday, August 12, and is for adults 18+ only.
