Mainspring Common Space Community Hour
Thu, May 8, 5:30 – 7 pm
Location: Mainspring (404 E Main St, Caledonia)
Free and open to all
You’re invited to Mainspring’s Common Space Community Hour, an intimate event for dreaming of Mainspring’s future basement remodel, learning about their new community-designed mural, and enjoy delicious appetizers.
Mainspring stakeholders and community enthusiasts will help the Mainspring team dream up possible uses for the basement remodel through a short guided activity. Artist Jacquelline VanRavenhorst will offer a self-guided activity to source ideas, simple drawings, or theme words for the Community Mural that will eventually be installed on Mainspring’s steeple in fall 2025. Finally, there will be plenty of time for mingling and socializing with appetizers and beverages.
Please arrive at 5:30, as we will get started with activities around that time.
