A Rescued Food Experience, Thursday, July 30:

Times are tough for a lot of us right now, so stretching the budget, and our food supply, is key.

Saving Grace Perishable Food Rescue invites you to an engaging conversation with Blossom & Wood, a nonprofit focused on using the resources you have in the best way possible. Get your tickets here

Experience History, Aug. 1 to Aug. 2:

Sometimes, just being outside is therapeutic. If you need a little outdoor therapy time, you can attend August Living History Weekend at Fort Atkinson and learn while you heal. Masks are recommended but not required in the fort itself, with proper social distancing. They are required in the visitor center. Entrance is free with a state park permit, otherwise there is a $6 entrance fee. Click here to see what's new.
