Drum With Us: Friday, December 5
Start the weekend with a ritual to honor the cycle of the moon. Step into sacred space that’s fun, community building, and liberating! Drumming happens the Friday closest to the full moon at 7 pm in the Northwoods UU sanctuary. Optional smudging beforehand. All experience levels are welcome. Children who can follow basic drumming etiquette are also very welcome. Bring your drum, shaky think, or share from our generous collection. Please, invite friends.
Millbend Coffeehouse Concert Presents
Carla Ulbrich
Saturday, December 13 @ 7:00pm
Carla Ulbrich is a comical singer-songwriter who is often compared to Tom Lehrer or Weird Al. She has a love of the absurdities of ordinary life, a somewhat twisted viewpoint, and a way with words. Carla has graced the stages of the Kerrville, Florida, South Florida, New Jersey, and the Turtle Hill Folk Festivals, as well as Seattle’s Moisture Festival. We are very happy and grateful to bring her back to the stage @ Millbend Coffeehouse. Opened By: Fernando Cervantes
