The Library is doing Celestial Henna for Teens and Adults from 11:30-1:30. Explore the art and history of henna with Henna Jes. Roll a cone, practice designs, then create a work of art on yourself or a friend! Ideal for Teens – Adults (16+).

Interesting event today at the Marv Kay stadium on the School of Mines campus: The Women’s National Football Conference. According to the press release, Around mid-day, WNFC All-Stars will compete in 7-on-7 matchups, skills challenge and pro level drills to display the best women’s tackle football players in the country…. The day will culminate in the championship game at 7PM.
