If the Scholastic Book Fair was the highlight of your childhood, this one’s for you!

Join us at Bell Tower on July 11th from 12-2pm for our Bottles & Books Pop-Up Adult Book Fair, where great books, great beer, and good conversation all come together in one place. Browse more than 50 carefully selected titles, pick up a few bookish accessories, and discover your next favorite read while enjoying a pint.

Books will be available for $10-$15, and for every $10 spent, you’ll receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win some fun book-themed swag at the end of the evening.

Admission is free, so bring a fellow book lover, grab a drink, and enjoy a night that’s sure to bring back a little nostalgia, with much better beverages this time around!

The kitchen will be closing at 3:00, and the bar will close at 4:00 PM. Have a Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸

These weekly watercolor classes are thoughtfully designed for both beginning and advanced painters, offering a welcoming environment where students can learn, explore, and grow at their own pace. Each session emphasizes skill development, creative confidence, and self-care, making the class as restorative as it is educational.

Students will gain a deeper understanding of watercolor materials (paper, brushes, pigments, and water) and learn how to use them intentionally to achieve strong technique, depth, and expressive results. Whether you are new to watercolor or returning to a practice that may have grown rusty, instruction is structured to meet you where you are while offering opportunities to expand your skills.

Classes foster a safe, supportive, and encouraging atmosphere, ideal for connecting with others who value creativity as a meaningful and healthy outlet. Through guided demonstrations, hands-on practice, and individualized feedback, students will build both technical proficiency and artistic confidence.

·         Format: 2-hour sessions

·         Schedule: 6 Sundays 11:00- 1:00pm, Starting Sept. 13

·         Level: Beginner through Advanced
