SUMMARY:CULTURE CLUB HAPPY HOUR: FOLLOW THE THREAD - SHEAR
DESCRIPTION:Free & open to the public \n \nEach month\, guest artists walk us through a different step of the weaving process with live demos\, from fleece to masterpiece. This month’s topic: Shear. Artist Vera Videnovich of Videnovich Farms joins KAC to share insights and hands-on conversation about the very beginning of the weaving process – wool! \nVidenovich Farms produces seasonal farm products from their small family farm in southwest Michigan that includes over 150 field-grown vegetable varieties in the summer and wool products made from their sheep flock in the winter. The 25-acre farm was founded in 1962 by Vera’s father Bozin Videnovich who brought with him generations of farming techniques and experience from Eastern Serbia with a focus on growing peppers for the Chicago Serbian immigrant community. After his death in 1992 three of his five children continued running the farm.  \nAlso an artist\, Vera creates hand-spun yarn and knitwear produced from the wool of their small flock of sheep. \n

SUMMARY:PechaKucha Vol.33
DESCRIPTION:Members of the community\, friends\, families\, and all those in-between are all cordially invited to attend the PechaKucha 20×20 St. Joseph/Benton Harbor Volume 33 Event. The ticketed event takes place at The Inn at Harbor Shores on Thursday\, May 22\, 2025\, from 7 – 9:30 PM. Doors open at 6:00 PM. \nPechaKucha’s – meaning “chit chat” in Japanese – presentation format shows 20 images\, each for 20 seconds. In other words\, presenters get 400 seconds to tell their story\, with visuals guiding the way. Many cities often lack spaces where creative people can share their work\, so PechaKucha is about exposing the hidden creativity in a city. PechaKucha nights are organized by local passionate and enthusiastic people with backgrounds in many creative fields. \nDoors open at 6:00 PM\, with the first presenter beginning promptly at 7 PM. It is encouraged to arrive early and enjoy good company (and the cash bar!). \nPechaKucha St. Joeseph/Benton Harbor has been bringing local creatives to center-stage for 10 years in 2025\, and Volume 33 brings more creative stories! This is a special\, ticketed event- make sure to get your tickets in advance so you don’t miss out!
