This will be our 7th Annual White Cane Day Celebration, but the white cane has been a tool for mobility and independence for over 100 years. So, let’s get together to raise a glass, a fork, or a bowl of that famous French Onion Soup at the Brazen Head Irish Pub. This is a day for the entire blind community, all organizations that impact blind and low vision individuals, and sighted friends and family of white cane and guide dog users. Cheers to all of us using these tools as a badge of independence. Tap your way over to the Brazen Head’s private party room to help us ring in National White Cane Day with a great group of folks. We may have less vision, but we always have more fun!
This is a free event, but attendees are responsible for their own transportation and the purchase of food and drinks.
Color Outside the Lines Art Workshop – Candle Making (All Ages)
Time to FALL in love with the scents of the season, and we’re not just talking about pumpkin spice! Our host from last year for soapmaking, Jon, has invited us to Good Life Candle and Craft for candle pouring and wax melt making. With scents like Maple Butter Blondie, Virgin River, Cider House, or Mahogany and Mallow, getting cuddled up and cozy at home never smelled so good!
BLUEBARN Theatre Presents “What the Constitution Means to Me” (Audio Described)
BLUEBARN Theatre’s 37th season is about to begin, and they want to remind all blind and low-vision theatergoers that they offer audio description for their live performances. To make sure we feel really welcome, they gifted us 20 complimentary tickets to the season opener, “What the Constitution Means to Me” by Heidi Schreck – A witty play about belonging and identity, this show explores how the U.S. Constitution has shaped—and sometimes failed—four generations of women in her family. Using humor and personal stories, Schreck reveals how the Constitution often leaves out women, immigrants, and marginalized groups, making belonging uncertain. It challenges audiences to rethink who truly belongs in America and invites us all to help rewrite the rules so everyone has a place at the table.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let’s get out and enjoy a night of live entertainment. Audio description will be available for both new and seasoned audience members. We have a limited number of free seats available, so please reserve your spot by September 19.

Come Together Through Tapestry Art Workshop
The blind community is as diverse as a patchwork quilt. We are individuals, but the common thread of vision loss also intertwines us. You are all invited to join us at the Joslyn Art Museum to create a piece of woven art using a loom and materials that represent you, based on your chosen colors, patterns, and textures. We will then combine all the pieces to make one big, beautiful piece of art with sections as unique as our stories and personalities. This event is free for all ages.
