See the stories of historical figures depicted in hand-crafted dioramas and specially-costumed dolls.

Meghan Casey with Rocky Mountain Puppets: ‘Sketchasaurus Rex’

“Join us in the Crawford Room for a sketchy adventure with Meghan Casey with Rocky Mountain Puppets, as they perform ‘Sketchasaurus Rex,’ an incredible puppet show featuring all of Meghan’s classic puppets, and some new dinosaur friends,” the event page states . 
“Performances will be happening multiple times a day, August 3–7, so there are plenty of chances to see this special performance. 
Meghan and Aidan have REALLY done it this time… apparently a normal jungle hike was just too boring. 
After stumbling across an abandoned prehistoric-looking science lab, Aidan finds a pencil labeled ‘DO NOT USE.’ 
So naturally… he uses it. 
One innocent Pterodactyl drawing and a machine startup later  BOOM!- Terry the Pterodactyl bursts out, flapping, squawking, and declaring that anyone who isn’t a dinosaur MUST leave the island! 
Now Meghan and Aidan must outsmart their own flying mistake before this Pterodactyl handles the situation his way. 
Think you can help? 
Good. 
Because they are absolutely not qualified to handle this alone… Perfect for children and families, ‘Sketchasaurus Rex’ will be sure to have you roaring with laughter. 
Happening Monday at 10 a.m. 
Mug Club Monday at Black Tooth Brewery 
Black Tooth Brewery is hosting its Mug Club Monday event all day Monday, beginning at noon.

“If you aren’t a member yet, ask your bartenders how to sign up, Mug Club Monday’s are just 1 of the many perks!” 
Happening Monday at noon.
