The Boardman Review Winter Issue Release Party
December 7th | 4-6 PM | The Little Fleet
Let’s collectively look ahead to those warming December get-togethers with our favorite people. To kick off the holidays, we’ll be hosting our Winter Issue Release Party on December 7th, from 4pm to 6pm at The Little Fleet. If you haven’t been to one of our winter parties at The Little Fleet, you’re in for a cozy treat. As usual, we’ll share with you the voices of the people that grace our newest issue (see below for a preview!), with readings from poignant essays, poetry, and winter-themed motivation. We’ll also be screening an exciting new short film we produced featuring artist Dana Falconberry, with a sneak peak into her craft that will fit perfectly with her story in our Winter Issue.
As we’ve done for our Winter Release parties in the past, we’ll have a mini holiday market set up, for a chance to get ahead on gift giving courtesy of some of our featured makers. Finally, you know that The Little Fleet always has the right drinks and food (Crocodile Palace!) for the occasion. We can’t wait to share this Sunday afternoon with you, so we hope you can make it.
