Hosted by North Central Ohio Harm Reduction and The 101 Tea Company, this gathering lifts up lived experience and creative response. Individuals share personal journeys of resilience and recovery, and each story is honored with a one-of-a-kind artwork created in direct conversation with what was shared. The pieces are unveiled during the program, creating a shared moment of connection and recognition. The focus is community, healing, hope, and the transformative power of storytelling paired with art.

D&D with Joe features a drop in, drop out campaign for 3rd level characters, with space for up to seven players. The adventure unfolds in a ruthless, intrigue filled fantasy world made of candy, where parties take on reckless errands for rival houses, outmaneuver rulers and rogues, and claw for influence or even a throne of sweets. Sessions emphasize gathering resources and turning them into clever schemes, breaching supposedly unassailable strongholds, and bending a fractured kingdom to your will through quick words and quiet blades. The table focuses on exploring wonderfully odd locales and characters while grounding the strangeness in clear logic. As events escalate, the tale peels back each hero’s origins and the bittersweet heart of the realm, building toward an attempt to unseat the Sucrosian Overlord. Bring a level 3 character. For details or to reserve one of the limited seats, contact Joe Seals on Facebook or @tydoxo (Jow S) on Discord.

Known for high-energy live shows and heartfelt, radio-topping country anthems, Russell Dickerson is a Multi-Platinum Triple Tigers artist with five romantic No. 1 singles to his name, including Yours, Blue Tacoma, Love You Like I Used To, Every Little Thing, and God Gave Me a Girl. He widened his sound with the soulful She Likes It featuring Jake Scott, contributing to a career tally of 3 billion streams and industry accolades. His fourth studio album, Famous Back Home, ushers in a confident new era that blends country-soul, 80s rock, and modern pop while keeping his sincere storytelling front and center.

The Budget Hipster Deck Brew League is a relaxed, community-focused Commander league at The Eldritch Bastion that celebrates creative brewing, fresh strategies, and friendly table camaraderie. Season 1 uses the Guild Wars theme. Each season runs for eight weeks with no entry fee. League decks either follow the season’s theme or are unmodified preconstructed decks purchased through The Eldritch Bastion during the season. Proxies are welcome, and players track games and achievement stats on a league sheet. Any game played with a league deck counts toward the league even if other players are not using league decks. At the end of the season, anyone who records eight games receives a random promo card. Additional promos can be earned for most wins, being eliminated first the most times, casting a commander the most in a single game, earning at least one win with the lowest-cost list on Moxfield, playing the least-represented commander on EDHREC at season’s end, and community votes for coolest deck and most on-theme build via the shop Discord. Deckbuilding and play aim for straightforward, unoptimized lists that leave room for flair and fun. Win conditions should be incremental, visible on the board, and easy to interact with. Games are low pressure and social, with proactive and considerate play that lets every deck show its plan, and you can expect games to last at least eight turns. Use a Bracket 2 commander. Cards labeled as Game Changers are not allowed unless they appear in an untouched precon. Chaining extra turns and broad mana denial are not permitted. Commanders must have fewer than 5,000 decks on EDHREC unless running an unmodified precon. Classic Partner is not allowed, though Partners With, Choose a Background, and Friends Forever are acceptable. Decks must cost under $100 using TCG Medium pricing for the cheapest printings on Moxfield, with basic lands at $0 and the commander included in the total. Decklists are submitted via The Eldritch Bastion Discord using Moxfield, Archidekt, or similar tools, and future season themes are chosen by midseason vote on the shop Discord. For Guild Wars specifically, commanders must be exactly two colors unless you use an unmodified precon, and decks should align with one of Ravnica’s ten guild identities or use an unmodified precon.

Players can enjoy Warhammer 40K tabletop gaming, and the shop has sets available.

Harness racing brings classic horse race excitement and plenty of fun to Richland County.
