Please note: This event was originally set to take place in June and was rescheduled due to a power outage that affected the Library.

Kick-start the fall season with exciting new flavors and fun! Join Chef Catherine from TastebudsCT for a lively happy hour cooking class consisting of demonstrations where you’ll learn to craft both savory and sweet seasonal bites — perfect for your next autumn gathering.

Each creation will be complimented with a carefully curated beverage. Discover beer and wine selections that will elevate the tasting experience. Whether you come alone or with friends, this is your chance to sip, savor, and sharpen your culinary skills in a relaxed, social setting. Let the cozy fall vibes begin!

Ages 21+ with ID, please.
