Hi,

Upcoming Events
Market on the Green

New Finds
Save the date for these fun events happing later-
Twilight Tuesdays

As an adult, it's nice to explore the museum & grounds without crowds of kids. They're pitching this as a time to meet friends after work. Sounds fun!

Late Nights at AVA

This new event series is right up my alley! It looks like a great chance to meet new people, have snacks, and dance/enjoy live music. Repeats on the third Wednesday of the month through November 18.
Improv Jam
