September 19th (Saturday) | Tavern 👻 Ghost Hunt
Do Spirits still walk the grounds of the famous Forsyth Tavern? If so, what do they want us to know about the afterlife. Learn the history of the Tavern as well as those who still may be patronizing its haunted walls. This hunt is for both experienced as well as novice investigators. Only a limited number of tickets will be available for this guided investigation.
September 26th (Saturday) Milkbarn Studio Traditional Gourdcraft Workshop
Step into the timeless art of gourdcraft — a practice that bridges agriculture, utility, and creativity. In this hands‑on workshop, participants begin with raw gourds freshly gathered from the field and transform them into one‑of‑a‑kind vessels inspired by early American and folk traditions.
Under the guidance of our artisan instructors, you’ll learn how to clean, cure, and shape gourds into functional or decorative vases. Once prepared, each piece becomes a canvas for personal expression: paint, carve, stain, or embellish with natural materials and traditional motifs. Whether you favor rustic finishes or vibrant designs, your creation will reflect the harmony between nature and craft.

October 17th (Saturday) | Tavern 👻 Seance
A séance is a structured gathering where people come together to attempt communication with the spirits of the dead. At this event participants will learn about this fascinating practice. The “tools of séance” both old and new will be discussed as well as how to be safe and protected while attempting this form of communication. Along with the class there will be an actual attempt and demonstration of this time-honored Spiritualist tradition.
