SUMMARY:Halloween Harvest Potluck
DESCRIPTION:Come celebrate the post-Halloween glow with the Capital Bi’s community! Their next free event will be a cozy field trip to @slowcraftfarm on the outskirts of Kanata. Come leaf peep with them!  \n\n\n\nFeaturing: \n\n\n\n🍲 Community potluck. Bring something to share! We’ll have vegan soup\, tea and coffee on hand. \n\n\n\n🔥 Bonfire to celebrate spooky season! Weather permitting. Wear warm clothes and farm appropriate footwear. BYO camp chair if you are able\, they’ll have extras on hand! \n\n\n\n🎃 Smashing Pumpkins! BYO carved pumpkin for a showcase and the opportunity to let loose and (safely) smash your pumpkin into the farm compost pile. Emotional catharsis! \n\n\n\n🍂 Cozy time with friends and nature. Enjoy a quiet craft corner\, farm walks\, bird watching & more.  \n\n\n\n📍Location and Accessibility: Slowcraft is a working farm. The bonfire area is a 1 minute walk from parking\, without stairs or slopes\, but the washroom inside the farmhouse is accessed via 5 stairs that do not have a railing\, which may limit some mobility devices.  \n\n\n\nThis is an outdoor-indoor hybrid event and masking is required indoors. They are planning for an outdoor late fall hang\, and the plan for inclement weather is to gather inside the farmhouse. **Please bring a high-quality mask (KN95 or better)\, they’ll have a few to share as needed\, and stay home if you’re not feeling well! \n\n\n\nThe farmhouse also hosts 4 cats\, but a separate bunkie will be warmed and available for anyone with serious allergies.  \n\n\n\n🚙They’ll be coordinating a carpool and pickups from the Eagleson park and ride over on the Discord server\, as there are no direct transit options on the weekend. Or DM them for directions & carpool connect if you’re not on Discord!
