This is Her

We invite you to join The Thread at the third rendition of ‘This is Her’, a special event series hosted by Bradley Fair. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, the focus of the evening is mental health. Attendees will be invited to explore the topic through local art, conversation, plus food and wine pairings during a progressive event. We aim to create an evening for women to focus on their mental health and have conversations with others about a topic that can feel stigmatic.

EVENT SCHEDULE

4pm – VIP Sponsor Lounge Opens

4:30 pm – Welcome by Jessica L. Provines, Ph.D., L.P. Assistant Vice President for Wellness & Chief Psychologist at Wichita State University, Founder of Suspenders4Hope

5-7 pm – Progressive Dining: Food & Wine Pairings, Local Artists’ Pecha Kucha Presentations, Intentional Conversation

After the opening discussion, you will head to your first destination. Your first destination will depend on the group you choose when purchasing your tickets. You will either start by enjoying First Mile Kitchen (Group A), Everyday by Elderslie at Love of Character (Group B) or Newport Grill (Group C). If you want to enjoy the evening with girlfriends, we would suggest you purchase tickets as a group.

As you rotate through each of our three restaurant partners for a progressive dinner of small plates, you will be responsible for transporting yourself from destination to destination. You may choose to do this on foot (and if so, consider comfortable footwear when dressing for the evening) or by personal vehicle.

At each of these locations there will be a local female artist telling a story through the lens that her work shines on mental health, Pecha Kucha-style. Each location will have a small plate created by the respective chefs and be accompanied with a wine pairing chosen by Nelson Escalante, Certified Sommelier of LDF. 🍷

7-7:30 pm – Evening Culmination on Plaza with a last bite from Bakesale Treat Parlor

Not ready for the fun to end? Make a reservation with party at one of our partner restaurants to cap off the evening!
