Another busy week at the Brookfield Old Town Hall!

All levels and all abilities welcome. The class is free of charge, but donations are encouraged. The AM Boot Camp series has been generously sponsored by The Clark Group, LLC.

Tuesday, 8/29, is our final yoga class of the season from 6:30 – 7:30 pm. Join Deonna Myrick for all-levels yoga. Yoga is $5/adult; kids under 18 are free. The yoga series is co-sponsored by Nina Gaby and Craig Smith.

Learn the art of Small Batch Sauerkraut Making Wednesday, August 30th at 6pm. Through much trial and error, Clotilde Hryshko has finally learned a system of making small batches of sauerkraut throughout the year. No more large crocks taking up space or temperatures that are not conducive to fermentation. This method allows the sauerkraut to be stored for optimal probiotics (no canning!) and made when you want. Cabbage varieties and their characteristics that affect fermentation will also be discussed.

Participants will take home a quart of 'future' sauerkraut to ferment at home. All materials will be provided, maximum of twelve participants. Reservations are required and can be made at clotildeh@gmail.com. There will be a $10 fee to cover the cost of supplies.

And join us at the Old Town Hall Thursday August 31st at 7 pm for our monthly “indie” film fest. This month we will be showing “The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared”.

Allan Karlsson is a centenarian who decides for better or worse to step out the window of his nursing-home room and start a new life, and what happens then is fantastic. Through a sequence of chance encounters and flashbacks to a long and remarkable life, we get to know the main character and the people he collects on his run from the nursing home. Part Forest Gump, part Chauncey Gardiner, the message comes loud and clear that we underestimate the power, perspective and humor in the stories and histories of the elderly. Admission is $5.
