Last weekend we headed south to Paola for some heavy metal fun! 🤘

The guys welcomed us with freshly baked banana nut bread and ice-cold beverages before we even struck an arc. After a safety briefing, we got hands-on MIG welding instruction and practiced our weld lines before building our final projects.

By the end of the class, everyone took home a giant metal hanger ready for the yard—perfect for hanging flower pots or bird feeders. 🌺🐦

A huge shout-out to our fearless leader (and master bread baker!) Willis for handing out the fresh PPE, outstanding instruction, and the life stories that made the day even more memorable.

We had an absolute blast and will definitely be back for more!

Last weekend we headed to Smithville, Missouri for an overnight of camping, crafting and chaos.

We set up camp like functional adults and then immediately morphed into a roaming craft goblin collective and headed into town to customize felt hats with absolutely no long-term consequences in mind. Naked engraved hats were provided. Feathers, leathers and bling were involved. Judgment was absent. The results? Emotionally complex.

Some hats are wearable. Some hats are warnings. All of them are personal growth.

Then we went out for eats and drinks because we briefly remembered we are humans who need fuel before continuing our activities of questionable camping and loud opinions around a blazing fire.

Sunday morning arrived in dramatic style with a deluge of rain. We moved into the pavilion and established goblin headquarters with coffee as our official survival beverage. We outlasted the rain. We always do.

Eventually we packed up, still slightly damp and fully unhinged, and agreed it was a top-tier overnight with excellent chaos, excellent women, and hats that should have their group chat.

Huge thanks to Smithville Parks and Rec for hosting and Welco Brewing Project for feeding the chaos goblins and not asking too many questions…except for Brad who became an honorary member of the Cool Hat Club™️ with us.

Learn to use a plasma torch in this beginner-friendly, three-hour class designed to introduce you to the art of metal cutting and creative design. Whether you are brand new to metalwork or looking to try something new, this hands-on experience will help build confidence and foundational skills in a supportive environment. Participants will be guided step by step through the process of safely operating a plasma torch, cutting sheet metal, and assembling a finished piece. You will then bring your project to life using paint and additional metal elements, creating something uniquely your own, such as a small garden sign or decorative sculpture to take home.

Recently we hosted our very first Learn to Hunt Turkey Camp — and it proved to be a great learning experience chasing what is arguably America’s best game bird!

Over the course of the weekend, participants learned the fundamentals of turkey hunting, including gear and equipment, scouting and recognizing turkey sign, ethical hunting practices, firearm safety, and how to properly process a harvest. They also spent time on the range patterning shotguns and building confidence behind the trigger.

Most importantly, each participant was paired with an experienced female mentor who guided and encouraged them throughout the hunt. These mentorship opportunities are invaluable in helping new hunters feel welcomed, supported, and prepared to continue their outdoor journey.

While the turkeys managed to stay one step ahead this time, the weekend was still a tremendous success. Every participant walked away with new skills, greater confidence, and a deeper appreciation for conservation, ethical hunting, and the outdoors.

Programs like this are about more than harvesting game — they are about preserving traditions, building community, and creating the next generation of ethical hunters and conservationists. We are proud of everyone who participated and so very grateful to the mentors who made this camp possible!
