History Happy Hour Returns!
3rd Friday of June, July & August
Featuring a different topic and presenter each month, we share something interesting about our amazing county with a community elder and/or topic expert.
Rather than a formal presentation, we will gather at Toti’s Tavern for a town hall-style chat. You will be able to join in the conversation, sharing your thoughts and memories with your friends and neighbors. Join us for refreshments in Toti’s at 6pm. The conversation will begin about 645. Weather permitting, we’ll spill out into the courtyard. There are tables and benches, but feel free to bring your lawn chair or blanket to sit on if you’d like. Beer on tap from AMBC, wine, water and popcorn will be available for purchase and the gift shop will be open.

A Night at the Races
Join us for a hilarious evening of rivalry, races & shenanigans! This unique fundraising event will bring out the kid in everyone. Choose your horse, place your bets and enjoy the ride! Contests for hats and costumes (think 1970’s, bell bottoms, platform shoes, feathered hats, fringy suede vests!), AMBC brewskies, wine and signature cocktails race-track appropriate finger foods. You don’t want to miss out on this unique event!
This event is designed for grown-up fun and will include alcohol, betting and shenanigans not appropriate for miners.
