Join us at Ruby River Hotel this 4th of July. Enjoy delicious food, drinks, games, pool access, and good company before the fireworks kick off. With free parking and close to downtown you can choose to stay and enjoy the show or head downtown and watch from the park.

Bring your friends and family and get ready to celebrate Independence Day in style with our mouthwatering BBQ spread and refreshing drinks in the riverside ballroom.

Did you participate in the First Friday Art Walk but not ready to go home? Are you tired of going to the bar?

Late Laughs is your monthly dose of experimental improv and comedy, happening every First Friday at 9:30 PM. Each show features a rotating lineup of performers from independent troupes to new voices trying something bold and unpredictable. These are not your typical Blue Door shows. Each 20-minute set is a chance for groups to push boundaries, test new formats, and take creative risks… all in front of a late-night crowd that is ready for anything.

Whether you are a night owl looking for laughs or just want something different to do downtown, Late Laughs is your alternative to the usual Friday night.

Tickets just $6.

Come curious. Leave laughing.

The Buddha encouraged us to brighten the mind through meditating on the four Divine Abodes (brahmavihāras) of loving-kindness (mettā), compassion (karuṇā), empathetic joy (muditā), and equanimity (upekkhā). By focusing on the two supplementary qualities of compassion—the heart’s response to others’ suffering—and empathetic joy—its response to others’ happiness, we broaden our capacity to meet all circumstances, internal and external, with love.
