From Uncle’s barbecue sauce to Grandma’s cobbler, family recipes fill us with nostalgia and draw us closer to family—if they have been saved and if they actually work right, that is. So, what can you do if a beloved recipe is sketchy, outdated, impossible to read, or (far worse) never got written down? How can you make sure old recipes as well as heirloom photos and kitchen artifacts last for future generations? And did you ever stop to look at your recipes with a historian's eye, exploring what that family recipe may say if you read between the lines? Valerie J. Frey, archivist and author of Preserving Family Recipes, will lead an exploration of various aspects of your family’s heirloom recipes.This program will be presented virtually.

Is Bigfoot simply an undiscovered creature hiding in the forests of North America—or could there be something much stranger behind one of the world’s most enduring mysteries?
Join author, researcher, and television personality Ronny LeBlanc, from Discovery Channel’s Expedition Bigfoot and Travel Channel’s Paranormal Caught on Camera, for a fascinating exploration of the history, legends, evidence, and modern-day encounters surrounding Sasquatch.
Drawing from Native American traditions, eyewitness accounts, decades of research, his own investigations throughout New England, and four seasons in the field filming Expedition Bigfoot, Ronny shares some of his most compelling experiences and explores the unusual phenomena sometimes reported alongside Bigfoot encounters—including mysterious lights, orbs, UFOs, and other unexplained activity.
Whether you’re a lifelong believer, a skeptic, or simply curious, “What Is Bigfoot?” invites audiences to examine the evidence, question what we think we know, and decide for themselves what may be lurking beyond the edge of the known.

Dada Post USA 

(Kunstraum) Dada Post was an artist-run organization, founded in January 2008, by Howard McCalebb in Berlin, Germany. In 2022 Mr. McCalebb moved to Norwich, Connecticut, and establish the art gallery Dada Post USA. Mr. McCalebb is a sculptor and active figure on the international art scene. Dada Post USA is an autonomous space for the production, display and discussion of current art. Foremost, we contemplate artistic expression from the standpoint of pure inspiration emanating from the source – the artist. We are keenly interested in the effects of Globalization on art practice, and the notion of a hybridized Post Modern art practice. As a contemporary art space, Dada Post USA is primarily concerned with artwork that is the most current, reflecting the actual meaning of the term: Contemporary Art. We offer a program of exhibitions and events, featuring videos, poetry/literary readings, music and other live performances, during and between art exhibitions. The original inspiration for both (Kunstraum) Dada Post and Dada Post USA was the Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich, Switzerland and Andy Warhol’s Factory in New York City – which were open venues for impromptu gatherings, events, and artistic experimentation. Dada Post USA will continue in this inspiration. In 2022 Howard McCalebb moved to Norwich, Connecticut, and establish the art gallery Dada Post USA.
