Brunch with the Grinch

10:30 The PTO Brunch...

4:00, wallow in self-pity. 4:30, stare into the abyss. 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one. 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me. I can't cancel that again. 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing. I'm booked. Of course, if I bump the loathing to 9, I could still be done in time to lay in bed, stare at the ceiling, and slip slowly into madness...

Come hang with our favorite green guy and let your heart grow three sizes while you enjoy refreshments and hear the story read by the man himself and a special guest!

Tickets $10 per person, $25 max per family at door (Cash/Card)
