S’mores, apple cider, spooky stories for all ages…..and Fire Breathers!
Once again, the Kingfield Neighborhood Association will partner with MLK Park and co-host a free fun-filled night for all ages, with a new twist  a spectacular performance by fire-breathers! We will be on the northern side of the building, just look for the fire pits – bring your chairs and come prepared to meet neighbors and be entertained!
Wheels will spin & clay will fly! Come join the fun!
There will be things to nibble and sip, and a chance to chat with the artists about their work while browsing the studio as they get ready for their annual holiday sale coming December 2-4. You can also paint a bowl for Kingfield’s February 2017 Empty Bowls event!
Experienced ceramic artists, come and sit for a spin (or two!)Â Â Uptown Clay is providing the space, wheels, and coordination for this single-day throwdown. The goal is to make 120 bowls for the February Kingfield Empty Bowls event, a fundraiser held in February to benefit Nicollet Square, a supportive place for formerly homeless youth.
