The leaves are turning, the grass has grown back, the holidays are approaching... and that means it's almost time for Thanksgaming! I can't wait to see you at Thanksgaming on Wednesday, November 25th.

This is our 21st year. Over those years, a table of strangers at The Game Keep that became friends has grown into a community, and this night is when it feels most like one. There is no schedule to keep and no game you have to play. Come, bring a dish, settle in, and stay as long as you like.

As is tradition, bring your family, your friends, and the person who says they don't play games. This is the night for everyone to come together and celebrate our community.

See you there. There will be pie.

Thanksgaming

Wednesday, November 25th, from 3:00 PM until midnightish, at Cheshire Hall. See more details at the event page and RSVP on Meetup.
