I?t’s time for to celebrate the summer solstice! Whether you call it Midsommar or Litha, the summer solstice is a fantastic time to reflect on everything that is going right in our lives. It’s a time to celebrate the sun, the earth, and sisterhood. Bring back ceremony and ritual to your life. Bring back community and sisterhood, and reclaim your connection to the earth’s cycles.
Including ceremony, a walk through a private forest, freeform dance, share circle, solitary time for reflection and journaling in nature, and finishing with traditional Midsommar refreshments. The day will be filled with traditional Midsommar symbolism and associations, ensuring each part of the day is in full celebration of this most beautiful day and honoring the traditional origins.
T?he event will be kept intimate, focusing on a goal of 9-12 women. So reserve soon if you’re interested!
Thought about buying a handgun and don’t know what to look for? Own a handgun and not sure how to use it? Come learn the basics of handguns, how to grip them, how to use the sights, how to load and unload, how to stand and more. Come with questions and leave with answers. If you do not own a handgun, bring .22LR and/or 9mm Luger or Parabellum ammo and use one of the instructors firearms. Bring your firearm (or ammo if you do not own a firearm), the appropriate ammo for that firearm, eye/ear protection (I have extras of those too), a baseball cap and a notebook for note taking.

See Capitol Comedy’s new show, “You Can’t Be Serious,” at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 19. The talented performers of the Capitol Comedy troupe send up the Biden-Harris Administration, the Trump-Vance challenge, and a host of public figures with song parodies, comedy sketches, mock commercials and fake news updates.

Imago’s shows have been described as Cirque Du Soleil-evoking acrobatics mixed with Mummenschanz-like mime, set in a unique, yet accessible, French-influenced, avant-garde playground. ZooZoo is penguins playing musical chairs, a cat trapped in a giant paper bag, hippos with insomnia, anteaters as waiters, and a madcap revue of illusion, comedy and fun that has inspired audiences nationwide. Imago has performed in China, Europe and at some of North America’s most revered festivals.
A good time for the entire family!
