Make It! Don’t Buy It! Skillshare event celebrates the handmade over the store-bought, and lifts up local makers and artisans in our community, while bolstering the sharing economy. Enjoy a day of music, refreshments, and handmade gifts, and take the opportunity to make something for a loved one, guided by one of our featured artists in a specially designed skillshare session. Our theme will be seasonal, and gifts will be inspiring for the winter holidays and beyond. Examples include printmaking, felting, paper making, metalsmithing, and plant-based crafts.

Dirtbag Baby Speaker Series

Next up in our Speaker Series! 👣 Bekah and Derrick Quirin hiked the entire Appalachian Trail when their adorable babe Ellie was 1 year old. The next summer, they biked the Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico as a family. Pretty incredible, right?! Having a baby didn’t stop them from pursuing adventure, it enhanced their experience. Join us for an evening of stories and Q&A with the family who pioneered some serious long distance adventuring with a babe in tow.

Shoutouts to our incredible host Ginger’s Revenge Craft Brewery & Tasting Room on Riverside Drive.

Free to attend! The Ginger’s Revenge bar will be open for drinks.
