Thank you to all that participated, helped with the event, and attended!

🎨 Doodle Booth
Hannah and Sherri from Sci Walks will be hosting a live doodle booth — a photo-booth–style experience, but hand-drawn. In just 3–5 minutes, they’ll create a custom doodle portrait of you or your group. Cost: $2 per drawing.

💖 Gratitude Board
Take a moment to reflect and share. Write what you’re grateful for on heart-shaped notes and add them to our community gratitude board near the entrance/exit.

🗨 Conversation Starters
Looking to mingle? Visit our conversation starter table and pick a prompt from the jar to help spark meaningful (and fun!) conversations with fellow attendees.

We’d love to see you there — whether you stop by briefly or stay for the full hour. Come celebrate connection, creativity, and community with us.
