Take a night to go out, convene, and converse for an evening before the hectic holidays descend upon us. The VERbAL Gumbo 8-year Anniversary Show is a great way to do all that, and grab a bite to eat. Do you have all kinds of feelings you’ve been dying to share? Add your name to the poetry sign-up list. Or, if speaking in front of a group makes you shake just thinking about it, simply listen to others as they share their stories. Hear the full word here, and get a taste of what to expect here.

Small trees, tall trees, red trees, all trees will be on display at the Feztival of Trees this year at the Tangier Shrine. Trees and prizes are donated by sponsors.

Or, try to win one of your favorites by entering the raffle. And what feztival is complete without some sweet treats, available at the Snowflake Cafe. Find out more here.
