Register through Yoga Mandali online or sign up on-site. Classes are held weather permitting, and will be canceled in case of rain or poor conditions.

A recurring series of haunted-themed tours takes place in Saratoga, offering a spooky way to explore the area.

Rustic Spirit brings its Southern, country, and classic rock sound back to Caroline St. Pub. The set spans songs from Garth Brooks and Hank Williams Jr. to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Marshall Tucker, plus classics by The Rolling Stones and Bad Company. Expect a lively mix made for dancing and singing along.

Explore your heritage in a hands-on mixed media workshop featuring Kendra Farstad and local historian and genealogist Kristin Jorgensen. Participants bring their own family information, learn how to organize different generations into branches, and create a unique family tree using pencil, acrylic paints, and ink on paper. If you need help filling in missing branches before you start painting, Kristin provides one hour of preliminary research per participant to uncover additional family details. Findings depend on the records that are available.
