Blues Vespers: BIG BLUES GUITARS

Everyone is welcome for our last Blues Vespers concert of the semester, featuring Tim Sherman and Tom Boyle on guitars with Conrad Ormsby and Mark Dalton on drums and bass.  Blues Vespers celebrates the power of music, shares some good poetry, and offers guests a little something to think about.  In its 6th year at Puget Sound (and 26th year in Tacoma), Vespers is hosted by the University Chaplaincy in collaboration with Vesper's founder Pastor Dave Brown. Vespers is free and a great chance to connect with both campus and Tacoma community folks.

Natural History Trivia Night!

Whether you know something about wildlife identification or pop culture references, there's a category for everyone. Play for a chance to win tickets to the Point Defiance Zoo and special prizes from the Bird Collective shop! Complimentary snacks and beverages provided.

Come with a team of friends or join one at the event! Open to all Tacoma & UPS community members.
