The Crow Show is a lively, cocktail-style gathering designed for mingling, nibbling, and moving about the venue. Rather than a traditional seated dinner, guests will enjoy Halloween-inspired bites from food stations while exploring the trinket swap, tarot readings, music, creative activities, and other curious happenings. Seating will be thoughtfully placed throughout the space for anyone who would like to rest, perch, or settle in for a spell.

Bring 1-3 small treasures worthy of another crow something charming, intriguing, handmade, vintage, useful, or wonderfully unusual - and leave with an all new treasure.

*Crow Show Trinket Guidelines 

“Bring treasure, not trash.”

Bring 1-3 clean, intact trinkets that another crow would genuinely be delighted to find. Think roughly $3–$10 of delight per piece—thrifted, found, and handmade treasures all count. The idea was that each piece should feel chosen, not dumped from a junk drawer.

Examples included vintage brooches or tins, charms, pretty buttons, tiny art supplies, handmade bookmarks, unusual stones, and little notebooks. Please see second picture for trinket examples. The Crow Test is: “Would I pause, pick this up and say, OOOH—LOOK AT THIS?”

**ALL TRINKETS MUST BE APPROVED FOR THE SWAP BEFORE 5:30 PM.**

Your $20 ticket includes the festivities, food, craft, and trinket swap. Costumes and creative finery are warmly encouraged.
