ArBrew Day
ArBrew Day blends an Arbor Day celebration with craft beer created especially to honor the importance of trees, presented in partnership by the City of Beavercreek’s Tree Advisory and Southern Ohio Brewing. Attendees can chat with tree care professionals, take home a complimentary sapling while supplies last, and enter a raffle for a container tree. Forest-inspired brews set a nature-themed tone for the gathering. Sponsors include Greene Soil and Water Conservation District, Siebenthaler’s, and Southern Ohio Brewing.
Watercolor Bouquets & Goat Cuddles
Explore watercolor techniques while creating a floral piece, then pause for cheerful goat cuddles at Goat Country inside The Mall at Fairfield Commons. Instructor Jacki guides the painting step by step, and The Paint Place supplies everything needed. One or two short cuddle breaks will be included, depending on painting and drying time. Goat cuddling is exactly what it sounds like, a therapeutic experience with plenty of smiles and laughs. The cost is $30 for the painting and $15 for the goat cuddle. The location does not sell food or drinks, so feel free to bring snacks and beverages, including adult beverages. Goats will roam, and they tend to be curious. Please plan to arrive about 10 minutes before the class begins. Goat Country is on the lower level near Dick’s House of Sports, next to Cozy Melts.
The Mall at Fairfield CommonsBarn Hunt Practices
Barn Hunt Practices welcomes participants without membership or advance registration. Bring your dog and plan to sign up when you arrive, since the running order follows the order on the signup sheet. Each run is $5, with a maximum of two runs per dog. Cash or check is preferred, and PayPal is also available. Participation is limited to 18 dogs per session. First-time attendees should leave their dog in the car while they come inside to register, mention that they are new, and bring plenty of treats. Belly bands are recommended if needed.
