Boxcar: Free Music Performance
Feb 27 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Join us for an evening performance with St. Louis folk-rock quintet Boxcar!
Described as “acoustic pop gems” that blend Americana warmth with high-energy rock, the band has become a staple of the Midwestern music scene through their storytelling and dynamic live performances. Their music frequently pays homage to influences like Talking Heads, the Decemberists, and Bob Dylan combining driving rhythms with the delicate interplay of keyboard and vocal harmonies. The band has travelled across America and Europe to spread their unique sound and has built a steady reputation through both studio recordings and local community involvement as frequent participants in the St. Louis music culture, appearing in the Lo-Fi Cherokee video series and multiple times on St. Louis Public Radio. 7 p.m. Auditorium. All ages.

Online Author Event: Jenn Lueke
Mar 5 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm

cookbook with woman looking right; text reads Jenn Lueke creator of Jenn Eats Goood, Don't Think About Dinner, the ultimate guide to planning, prepping, and shopping smart, save time and money with 125+ easy  nourishing, delicious recipes for every meal

Join us online for a free conversation with recipe developer and social media star Jenn Lueke. In her new cookbook Don’t Think About Dinner, Jenn offers a framework to save time, money, and energy with strategic meal planning, grocery lists, and kitchen prep.

Whether you want to improve your health, cut down food waste (and spending), reduce your mental load, or build new kitchen skills, Don’t Think About Dinner provides everything you need to confidently approach every meal of the day—from shopping and stocking the pantry to storing and reheating leftovers, and everything in between.

As a college student, Jenn was struggling with health problems and tired of quick-fix “healthy” recipes that relied on obscure, expensive ingredients that were often spoiled before she could finish them. Overwhelmed and frustrated, she felt further from her health goals. So, she made a plan. Or rather, a list—filled with plants and proteins, plus simple recipes to make the most of them. This became the framework for her hugely successful business—and transformed her life.

Unlike a typical cookbook, this comprehensive handbook offers strategies, tools, tips, meal plans, and more, plus over 125 delicious recipes. Jenn includes a wide range of adaptable dishes that suit any vibe, budget, or dietary need, from breakfast and lunch to appetizers, dinner, drinks, snacks, and desserts.
