Good morning, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!

We have had an AMAZING sign up for our first "Books, Bites and Cozy Nights" event! Our first book club meeting is almost full 🥳. If you want to sign up for this event, please comment below or send me a private message ASAP and I'll send you a link for payment!

Also, as an FYI - you do not have to sign up for every meeting to be in our "club"! In the future, I will be creating an event with all of the information for our next class, including which book we will be reading, the date and the link for payment! Feel free to sign up as we go if you see a book that may interest you! Who knows, if we have enough interest, we may offer more than one date to attend!! 📖

Ok friends! We had a LOT of interest so let's do this!! Special thanks to Amber M. for the great suggestion and to Heather C. for this month's book pick!!

🍴 Enjoy an appetizer, light dinner and desert from a local caterer, Trinas Culinary Corner , inspired by our book and the cozy flavors of fall.

☕ Non-alcoholic beverages, appetizers and a light dinner
💬 Guided book discussion
🎉 Make new connections within our community.
📔 Discuss future book club dates and ideas

**You don't have to belong to a book club to attend - this is OUR new bookclub!** Come by yourself, bring a friend, or come with your own book-loving group.

📅 Date: Thursday, October 1, 2026
🕕 Time: 6:00pm to 8:00pm
📍 Location: 147 Madison Avenue, Skowhegan

Space will be limited so that everyone has a chance to participate in the discussion. **Due to not having a full month to read our book, we will break this book up into 2 meetings! The first meeting we will read:

* Anticipation
* Part I - Primordium
* Part II - Illumination/Illuminations

Want to join us under the big top 🎪for a relaxing evening filled with conversation and friendship? **Comment 📖 below or send us a message for ticket information!** ❤️
