Join Brad Knaub owner of Carnivore Oak Park, and Dave Odd, full-time professional forager to the stars at Cheney Mansion to learn about and sample edible and medicinal wild plants and mushrooms that grow right in our backyards this Spring. Learn what is at its peak right now and how you can use it to make them part of a tasty meal prepared by Brad in the Cheney Kitchen and enjoyed in our dining room. 2 drink tickets are included in your registration and offerings will pair with what is ready. Ages 21+
Fridays are for FUN. Sign up to join a lovely group of friends for an afternoon of competition. Scrabble- two to four players score points by placing tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a game board divided into a 15×15 grid of squares. The tiles must form words that, in crossword fashion, read left to right in rows or downward in columns and are included in a standard dictionary or lexicon.
Join us for an afternoon of party bridge. Bridge has been the favorite card game to many notable Oak Park residents including Elizabeth Cheney (of Cheney Mansion). Join your fellow Bridge enthusiasts for an afternoon of card etiquette and serious gameplay in a relaxing environment. No partner is needed. These are all one-day registrations.
Join us for an afternoon to learn the game of Bridge! Our instructor will get you familiar and comfortable with the game so you can join our Friday Dole Bridge Club or play with family and friends! These are all one-day registrations.
