Hi Kids!

 

Lots going on in Bermuda so let’s just get right down to it:

 

Bringing a double-meaning to downward dogs, Karmic Pretzel Yoga are doing a special Fundraising Event with the Bermuda SPCA at My Sereni-Tea.  The first class is today from 12.15pm until 1pm and the second class is on Thursday from 5.30pm until 6.30pm.  Both classes are Vinyasa flow yoga but, while both are good workouts that are ideal for balancing and de-stressing, the Wednesday class will be a more gentle flow than the Thursday evening class.  Space is limited and a $20 minimum donation is required for each class.  For more information, see their Facebook page here and, to book your spot, contact kpyoga@hotmail.com.

The Frog and Onion Pub would like you to hop on over to Dockyard for their 3rd Annual Frog Race on Saturday, February 9th from 7pm.  Six frogs will be created by local artists and these will be auctioned off at the beginning of the night.  The new ‘owners’ of the frogs (usually a group goes together to bid on the frogs) then organise their ‘jockeys’ for each race. (there are 6 races). The Frogs are laid at the starting line and then they are moved along the race track by the jockey at the other end.  The frogs can only be moved by rolling string over a bamboo stick and One Eyed Bob in his Mega Truck will be adding an extra obstacle by driving back and forth across the track, driving over the frogs . There are six races and the crowd can bet on a frog with two-to-one betting. The winners collect vouchers for the amount that they win and can choose between vouchers for Frog and Onion or for the Arts Centre.   All proceeds go to the Arts Centre at Dockyard.  For dinner reservations at the Frog and Onion, call 234-2900.
