History Happy Hour Returns!
History Happy Hours are back again in 2025 -with a NEW TWIST! 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. If there are too many of us to fit in Toti’s, 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.
