In the words of William Shakespeare*, “I loved it!  I was able to see…

Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing,—

                                                                                                              …It inspired my writting.”

Stop by for a few minutes or stay a spell.  Exact hours of operation will be posted as soon there is a game time. Check back here for updates.
