WEST ACTON VILLAGE MERCHANTS’ ASSOCIATION EVENT
TRUES WEST BREWING CO EVENT
It’s time to summon your wizarding spirit and meet at True West for Jigsaw Jam—because who wouldn’t want to spend an evening piecing together a magical scene from the world of Harry Potter? Gather your team of up to 4 (think Harry, Hermione, Ron, and...maybe Hagrid?) and compete in an intense, Hogwarts-worthy challenge to complete a 300-piece puzzle faster than Harry catching the Golden Snitch.
There are two enchanted prizes up for grabs: one for the first team to complete the border (because true puzzle wizards know the edges are key) and another for the first to finish the whole thing—just like Dobby knitting his last sock. And don’t worry, even if you don’t win, you’ll still get to keep the puzzle and relive the magical experience.
All teams will be building the same puzzle, so it’s fair play—no tricks from Fred and George! Tickets are $45 per team, less than a Galleon but worth every Knut. So bring your friends, wands optional, and join us at True West Brewery for Jigsaw Jam. Let’s see if you’re the Hermione Granger of puzzles, or maybe a bit of a Ron Weasley!
TRUE WEST BREWING CO. EVENT
Join Inibri-Art at True West Brewing Co. anytime between 6 and 9 PM to create a beautiful work of art, that you can fill with your favorite True West beer. The cost is $25 per mug and Inebri-Art will supply all the materials you'll need to customize your drinking vessel (beer sold separately.)
