Featured Event: Craft Cinema Screening of Practical Magic (1998)
Grab your latest craft project and settle in for Practical Magic at the Colonial Theatre! Our friends at Here & Now Crafts are back for another Craft Cinema screening, where you can watch the movie while knitting, crocheting, cross-stitching, or working on whatever project you can’t put down.
Details: Wednesday October 21st
5pm: Midnight Margarita Happy Hour at Rebel Hill Brewing
7pm: Movie begins at the Colonial Theatre
Craft idea: Someone knit a replica of Nicole Kidman’s gorgeous red wig from the movie (and then gift it to your favorite local newsletter writer…)
