SUMMARY:Modern Calligraphy for Beginners at Watermill Kitchen & Bar
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Watermill Kitchen & Bar in Coralville\, IA for pretty lettering!

The perfect crafty night out! \nClass includes 1.5 hours of instruction and demonstration\, our beginner’s calligraphy kit (two nibs\, black ink pot\, 2 letter guides\, tracing paper\, and straight pen holder)\, and all materials to write on. Everything is yours to keep at the end of the workshop! \nFeel free to come early\, grab your seat\, and purchase any food or drinks (food and drinks are available to purchase throughout the class\, too!).

SUMMARY:Back to Beaker Street: A Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:Step into the sound of a generation and experience the music that changed everything. \nJoin the Beaker Brothers Band for an evening of high-energy\, feel-good dancing inspired by the legendary jam bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Featuring music made famous by artists like the Allman Brothers\, Santana\, Eric Clapton\, Creedence Clearwater Revival\, the Rolling Stones\, and more\, this isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of a musical movement. \nRooted in the spirit of Beaker Street—the iconic late-night radio show hosted by Clyde Clifford on KAAY—this band brings to life the era when rock\, blues\, jazz\, and Latin sounds blended into something entirely new. It was the music of discovery\, rebellion\, and connection—and it still resonates today. \nThe Beaker Brothers Band doesn’t recreate the past—they play from it. With a deep love for the music and the moments it created\, they deliver a sound that’s authentic\, vibrant\, and made to move you. Whether you remember these songs from the first time around or are discovering them anew\, this is your invitation to hit the dance floor\, feel the groove\, and enjoy a night of timeless music and community. Come ready to dance\, connect\, and celebrate the soundtrack of a generation. \nThis event is free and open to everyone\, hosted by the Iowa City Senior Center! Bring a blanket or lawn chair\, pack a picnic\, and settle in for a fun night! \nIn the event of rain\, this event will be held in the Assembly Room at the Iowa City Senior Center (28 South Linn Street). \nAbout the Beaker Brothers Band:\nFor 20 years\, the Beaker Brothers Band has been a staple of the Iowa music scene and a mainstay of Iowa City venues like The Englert Theatre and events like the Summer of the Arts. They perform some of the classics of the jam band era that were broadcast across the country in the 60s\, 70s\, and every decade since. \nThis show is a part of their “Reelin’ in the Years and Signing Off” farewell tour.

When four young lovers flee the city to follow their hearts\, they wander into a place where anything can happen\, and usually does. A mischievous fairy named Puck\, armed with a magic flower\, sends the lovers chasing each other in all the wrong directions\, and the queen of the fairies falls head over heels for a buffoonish “ass.” When dawn breaks\, love wins\, and all that’s left to do is celebrate with three weddings and a play-within-a-play so charmingly terrible it just might steal the show.
