SUMMARY:NEW!!! VR Experience with IMMOTION
DESCRIPTION:Step back 66 million years and journey through the final chapter of the age of dinosaurs in Dinosaur Evolution—a thrilling immersive experience that brings the Cretaceous world to life. Witness feathered raptors on the hunt\, armored giants defending their turf\, and the mighty T. rex at the top of the food chain. But even these perfectly evolved creatures couldn’t escape Earth’s most devastating extinction event. Stunning visuals and cutting-edge science reveal how evolution shaped the dinosaurs—and how birds\, their modern-day descendants\, continue their legacy. It’s a prehistoric adventure that will inspire the next generation of paleontologists and conservationists alike.

SUMMARY:Cultural Foodways: Slavic Tradition
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rich cultural foodways experience rooted in Slavic tradition. \nSouth Slavic foodways are deeply rooted in the land and the seasons\, shaped by centuries of farming\, foraging\, preservation\, and ritual. From hearty grains\, root vegetables\, and legumes to fermented foods\, fresh herbs\, and celebratory breads\, Slavic cuisines reflect resilience\, hospitality\, and the belief that food is meant to be shared. \nGuests will begin the evening by exploring educational stations that highlight traditional agricultural practices\, herbal knowledge\, folktales and oral storytelling\, folk art such as embroidery and painted eggs\, music and dance\, and spiritual or ritual traditions that often accompany meals and seasonal celebrations. These elements reveal how food is intertwined with daily life\, belief systems\, and cultural identity across Slavic regions. \nThe evening will feature chef Rilke Witherstine\, who will share her personal journey reconnecting with her Yugoslavian heritage through cooking. After an introduction to the Cultural Foodways series\, Rilke will lead a hands-on kitchen demonstration inspired by communal Baltic cooking traditions\, where many dishes are shaped\, filled\, or assembled together. Guests will be invited to participate in a series of simple\, guided steps before enjoying a shared meal. \nThe night concludes with a family-style dinner and an open Q&A\, providing an opportunity for conversation about heritage\, migration\, memory\, and how food serves as a powerful bridge between the past and the present. \nIn collaboration with Hickory Soup Kitchen.
