Sunday, October 18 from 1-5 PM,

Please bring your own chair and your instrument of choice. As in the past we're asking $5 donation from participants, more if you can afford it.

The good folks at 8th Wonder Brewery will have glasses for sale for $5 (one glass) or $15 which they will conveniently fill 3 times with one of their amazing selections of fine local craft brews. A food truck is on site if you get hungry. 8th Wonder is a family friendly establishment. Please, everyone have your mask on as you enter the brewery.
This is an informal circle. Bring your songs, your poems, your short stories, your instruments, your voices, and your ears. Show up when you can. Leave when you have to.
