The Trump Administration is trying to rescind one of the most important protections for our national forests while shutting the public out of the process. The quarter-century-old Roadless Area Conservation Rule protects clean drinking water, dispersed recreation, and some of the best habitat for fish and wildlife anywhere. When the Roadless Area Conservation Rule was first created, the Forest Service held more than 600 public hearings across the country and received millions of public comments. People showed up, spoke out, and demanded lasting protections for their forests. Now, the Trump-appointed leaders of the the Forest Service are trying to rescind one of the most important protections for our national forests, the Roadless Area Conservation Rule, while shutting the public out of the process. That is unacceptable. In response, groups across the country are organizing community hearings to make sure our voices are heard.

About Opting Out From the award-winning author/illustrator of GENDER QUEER and a bright new talent, the story of a kid named Saachi, who is navigating friendship woes, sister issues, a new crush, and a resistance to blue-and-pink binaries. Bodies are the worst. I wish I didn't have a body. Saachi is a storyteller. At school, she's surrounded by kids she's known forever -- including her best friend, Lyla, who shares Saachi's love of fantasy novels and creating new worlds. But as seventh grade starts, kids are changing. Suddenly, it matters who you like and if you can find a boyfriend or girlfriend. Even Lyla seems more interested in hanging out with her new boyfriend than in writing and drawing with Saachi anymore. Saachi's not interested in any of that boy/girl stuff. Why can't things just stay the way they were? Saachi also doesn't love all the ways her body is changing. What if she doesn't feel like a girl -- or like a boy, either? In a world where there is so much either/or, Saachi is going to need to find her own options . . . and create her own story.

Artists supporting artists in a community space. Fisher Art Market originated from artists in our community grabbing a beer at Fisher Brewing before and after markets. The Fisher Brewery folks would stop by the table and check in on how everyone was doing and ask what brought them to Fisher that day. Having just come from an art market, the artists would enthusiastically share about their day. Being a community-oriented business, Fisher Brewing asked if the artists would ever be interested in hosting a market at Fisher so here we are!

6 PM on the second Wednesday April - September. 21 + event with valid ID.
