Roast Your Ex @ The Juice Box Public House

Roast Your Ex @ The Juice Box Public House

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!

Looking Out for the Little Guys: Macroinvertebrate Monitoring Workshop @ Stillman Creek - RSVP for exact location
Feb 22 @ 10:00 am – 12:00 pm

Join us for a hands-on workshop learning all about the tiny critters living in our local waterways! Daron Williams, a Habitat Biologist for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, will guide us in sampling and identifying macroinvertebrates, and speak on what they can tell us about the health of our streams. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to explore an important conservation area (managed by Capitol Land Trust) and get up close and personal with these fascinating (and often overlooked) creatures. Exact location provided after RSVP – limited spots available!

We recommend dressing warm and waterproof! Rubber boots are recommended, as you will have a chance to step into the stream to collect samples. Terrain is relatively flat but bumpy. Participants will not be expected to walk more than half a mile. There are no facilities on site, so please make sure to go before the workshop if a bush is not your ideal bathroom!
