Atlas Brew Works is excited to release its special eighth anniversary beer at the party, Mayor for Life. The beer has a noticeable puckering sourness balanced with a tart, earthy sweetness. Starting with a blend of three different barrel-aged beers, the team added 400lbs of marionberries, giving the beer it’s fuchsia color and distinct blackberry sweetness. To make up for the lost year of 2020, the Atlas team will also unveil its limited edition seventh anniversary DIPA, available on draft while supplies last. During the party, guests can also enjoy kegs of Batch 500 and Dave Trippelle, Atlas’ fifth and sixth anniversary beers.

WHY: The Cornhole Challenge has raised more than $500,000 for local non-profits doing great work in our community. That commitment to the communities where they live and work is an essential part of what makes Van Metre who they are. That’s why this year’s Cornhole Challenge focuses on non-profit initiatives helping to educate young minds, shelter the homeless, and care for the needs of children in our community.
ABOUT THE GAME:
It is recommended that each competing team raises at least $300. The format of the tournament—King’s Court—encourages the highest levels of fundraising. The more money a team raises, the closer their starting place to the King’s Court and the higher their chances of winning the tournament.

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead)
Oct. 28, On demand
americanindian.si.edu/calendar
To celebrate Día de los Muertos, the museum will showcase two unique Day of the Dead traditions: figural sugar work and papier-mâché arts. The Mondragón family are skilled sugar workers known for their sugar animals and the most popular symbol of Día de los Muertos: the sugar skull. They come from the city of Toluca, the heart of sugar-figure making in Mexico, where they have been making hand-decorated sugar skulls for more than 150 years.
Miriam Castañeda and Martín Ramírez create compelling cartonería tradicional (papier-mâché) figures called calaveras (laughing skeletons), which are famous for humorously depicting everyday activities. Calaveras have become closely associated with Día de los Muertos but, originally, they were used to adorn religious spaces and to represent various historical figures in processions.
Federal support for this program is provided by the Latino Initiatives Pool, administered by the Smithsonian Latino Center.
