Join The Bedlam Bards at Fiddler's Hearth.

From the Bards:

"We're about the loud, sweaty, heart-pounding, foot-stomping, beer-swilling, hand-clapping, tankard-clanking, dancing-in-the-aisles-and-laughing-your-ass-off kind of music. The kind of music your mother warned you about."

This year's theme is: Horrifying Holiday Sweaters! The best, more horrifying sweater gets a prize, so make sure you make your sweater as horrifying as possible.

As with most of our events, this is a potluck. Please contact Brenda to see what items are still needed.

You are not required to participate in the white elephant gift exchange. If you'd like to, please keep your gift around $10, unless regifting or the item was free.

See you soon!
