February

Step into the western town of Dry Gulp for A Fistful of Hollers, a Wild West-themed murder mystery dinner set inside a lively saloon. You’re invited to a party hosted by Digger Deep, the town mortician, whose plan to drum up business includes inviting Nasty Nate, the local troublemaker. As expected, the night takes a deadly turn when someone is murdered, and legendary detective Squint Leastwood is on the case. With a cast of colorful characters like Fanny Dango, Wyatt Burp, and Messy James, every guest becomes a suspect, including you. Don’t forget to wear your boots, ’cause it’s gonna get pretty deep! Attendees must be 21+ with a valid ID.

Hold onto your leather jackets and cue the piano music—it's time for Twilight Saga Trivia Night! Whether your heart beats for the dazzling, perpetually scowling vampire or you prefer the cozy, perpetually shirtless werewolf, this night is your chance to prove you know more about Forks than Charlie Swan. We'll dive deep into the messy, dramatic, and intensely sparkly world of Bella, Edward, and Jacob.

Test your knowledge on everything: obscure Quileute legends, the Cullen family history, the rules of vampire baseball, and whether or not Bella has ever actually blinked. Bring your coven, your pack, or even just your human self, and compete for prizes that are worth more than an eternal life of brooding. Don't be late—we'll be there until dawn!

Advanced reservations are required. Tickets are $5 per person, with a limit of 6 people per table. To reserve your spot, e-mail Twin City Trivia using the Get Tickets link below.

Selina will conclude with a calming meditation to leave you feeling relaxed and at peace.

Each ticket includes access to the private class & a 4oz soy candle by Cedar & Scotch. Don't forget to bring your own mat!

Singer/songwriter Christina Eltrevoog was born near the confluence of the Fox and Illinois Rivers in the last decade of the twentieth century, but is one many consider an "old soul". The seeds of spiritual and folk songs, popular and classical music planted in her early years have inspired original compositions that feed the souls of listeners throughout the US. Living part time in Illinois, part time in Oregon, and part time on the road in a 1997 Safari Trek, Christina is a collector of beauty and truth found in human stories and the natural world, pouring it back into the hearts of those who thirst.
