Juneteenth marks June 19th, 1865, when federal troops arrived to take control of the state & ensure that all remaining enslaved Texans learned that they were in fact free individuals -- this, horribly, came a full two and a half years AFTER the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
It is the day that honors the true end to slavery, a day that celebrates freedom, resilience, & Black history while also recognizing the ongoing fight for equality not just in our country but around the world. We also encourage you to continue to do your own additional research & self education on both Juneteenth & Black history in general, today & every day. 🔴💛💚
In honor of both Pride Month and Juneteenth, this month we will donate a portion of sales of our Pride themed drink specials to , In Our Own Voices, a community organization strengthening and empowering LGBTQIA+ Black, Indigenous, and People of Color members of our community in upstate New York. You can learn more about them & what they do to uplift the members of our BIPOC community at ioov.org

Welcome to Camp Hope Falls
*Read like an 80’s ad pitch*
It’s the perfect place for family friendly fun, exciting challenges, and life-threatening horrors?
Take a seat by the warm fires of camp…or is that heck? Where the marshmallows might roast you!?
Table Open at 6:00pm, Game Starting at 6:30pm on Thursday July 16th! Tickets available on our website in our online store and space is limited so be sure to sign up ASAP to guarantee your spot!
In this game you play a teen archetype competing in the Campy Games, a Camp vs. Camp tournament. Game play style is if Scooby Doo had consequences.
The goal is to have fun, be as campy, edgy, and teen-like as you want, and try to survive. While there is a chance of character death, the real prize is the friends we make along the way.
Camp Hope Falls uses a D10 homebrew High School Horror game system, made by Cody Kanak.
Players are free to bring along ten sided dice, otherwise everything will be provided by Game Master Lynn Andrews! This game is offered for players ages 16+.

Your God is dead… How long can you can the charade up?
Our god is dead is a comedy role-playing game about clerics hiding the fact that their god has died just before a celebration in their god's honor.
Players will take on the role of devotees to their god and start scheming up increasingly impractical miracles in order to fool everyone else into thinking their god is still alive. How long can you keep the charade up?
Join Game Master Lynn for this funny and creative role playing game on Thursday July 2nd at 6:30 PM! There isn't any prep or character creation, so you can jump straight into playing, all you need are six-sided dice. Feel free to bring some along or dice will be provided! Tix available on out website on our online store and space is limited so be sure to RSVP ASAP!
