The best way to learn to paint wildflowers is to begin—no overthinking, just pick up your brush and start.

This approach encourages you to start small, start quickly, and start today.

Focusing on small, simple flowers and limited color palettes helps build confidence and skill, setting the foundation for larger, more complex compositions.

Whether you’re a beginner or looking to loosen up your style, this method is a gentle, joyful way to grow as a painter.

No experience required and supplies are included.

Join us at Trailside Brewing Co. for our FREE Adventure Film Series with seven films (listed below) this April-July, sponsored by Mast General Store!

Five Summer Stories screens Thursday, July 24 at 6:30 PM and is an iconic surf film that changed the genre forever! Widely regarded as the greatest surf movie of all time, this visually stunning and culturally significant film captured the soul of surfing in the 1970s, featuring legendary surfers like Gerry Lopez, Eddie Aikau, and Shaun Tomson.

Now digitally remastered with a brand-new soundtrack featuring Honk and The Beach Boys, this 50th-anniversary edition expands the original five stories to ten, bringing even more groundbreaking cinematography and timeless surf culture to the big screen.

Whether you’re a lifelong surfer or just love epic adventure films, don’t miss this chance to experience a piece of surf history!

We’re excited to have Created for Adventure, a locally owned Teen Adventure camp as the co-host and emcee of the film.

✨ What to Expect:
🎥 A visually stunning, digitally remastered 50th-anniversary edition of the greatest surf film of all time, featuring legendary surfers, groundbreaking cinematography, and a new soundtrack by Honk and The Beach Boys.
🍻 Drinks from Trailside Brewing & food available for purchase
🎟️ FREE & open to all ages!
