  • Movie Nights

  • Paint Days
    • August 5th and August 19th, 6:30pm-8:30pm
    • Ever tried painting? Do you enjoy painting? Come join us in an evening of relaxation and painting, with Bob Ross! We’ll be supplying canvas, paint, and the Bob Ross tutorial so all you need to bring is yourself and some clothes you don’t mind getting dirty!
