Are you over your ex? Or still nursing a broken heart? Either way, it’s time to get your revenge – with laughter! Join us at The Juice Box Public House for a night of hilarious “Roast Your Ex” fun.
Host Cheri Hardman and her band of witty comedians will be dishing out jokes about dating, heartbreak, and relationships gone wrong. And if you’re feeling bold, you can roast your own ex! Don’t worry, it’s all in good fun – we promise plenty of laughs and zero hard feelings.
So grab your friends, bring your ex’s photo (or voodoo doll), and get ready to leave that baggage behind. This is the cathartic, sides-splitting breakup bash you didn’t know you needed. We can’t wait to see you there!
Join us for a lovely potluck celebrating local food grown and preserved by hard-working farmers and community members. Music by Prairie Fire.
Our preservation dinner aims to complement the lively fall harvest dinners that happen in the community. In late winter as we emerge from the cold, dark weather, we can remember the fruits of our labor as we savor preserved goods from our abundant summer and fall harvests. We can celebrate the continuation of the cycle of life that connects us all. We want to offer an evening to showcase local food, nutrition programs, and farmer opportunities. Farming is connection to community eating, health, and environmental sustainability. Please come and see what is happening in our community and share what you may be doing as well.
Calling all producers, growers, grocers, markets, local food banks, food access programs, chefs & restaurants focusing on local produce, community & school gardens, folks who simply love delicious food grown with heart. Kids are welcome. Join us, and let’s unite our missions!
Tickets are free with suggested donation; registration required.
This event supports Nature Nurture Farmacy’s Project: Food Is Medicine.
