Come tie flies, talk fishing, and enjoy snacks with us! This monthly program, for aspiring and experienced fly fishers alike, will be led by Keith Loutzenhiser of the Little Elkhart Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
Join us for an evening of guided painting with local artist Linda Pieri. We'll paint bleeding heart flowers and eat chocolate cookies because, Valentine’s Day! All supplies are provided, but please register to secure your spot.
February 9th is National Pizza Day! We'll have plenty of ingredients to choose from (maybe even some special, silly ones!) and various types of sauce, cheese, and toppings to make something as unique as you.
Join your fellow love skeptics this evening for pizza, a ginormous piñata (made in the shape of a heart for us to break), cookie decorating, and of course, a horror (PG-13+) movie.
Join our long-running book series, Let's Talk About It! Our first book for Spring 2023 is The Residence by Kate Andersen Brower. Our guest speaker is Dr. Jonathan Nashel, Professor of History at IUSB.
