The CAFE is the "Capitalist Art and Food Experience."
No friends...we're not really interested in supporting capitalist
exploitation, but our first winter open has brought on sizable heating
bills, along with very large, unexpected building expenses running into
the $ thousands so to make ends meet up nicely
we have created this lovely art experience:

*Featured Performers:
*Na-do's Delight, performances @ 7:30 and 8:30
Fireflies, acro yoga performance troupe
Michael Franklin, spoken word

*Also Featuring:*
a Silent Art Action Auction
with works including: Alyssa Hill, Fair Ophelia Designs,
Larva-Lou, Ms. Leanne Mead, Pete Stein, and more
with auction proceeds being shared between
 CAMP and the contributing artists.

*AND...*
We will be serving coffee, tea, homemade kombucha and a number of other
delicious things for you to nibble on.
