Widow Clicquot

October 1, 2024
7:00 pm · 8:45 pm

Widow Clicquot is based on the true story of the “Grande Dame of Champagne,” Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin (1777–1866) who, at the age of 20, became Madame Clicquot after marrying the scion of a winemaking family. Though their marriage was arranged, a timeless love blossomed between Barbe-Nicole (Haley Bennett) and her unconventional, erratic husband, François (Tom Sturridge). After her husband’s untimely death, Barbe-Nicole flouts convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she defies her critics and revolutionizes the champagne industry to become one of the world’s first great entrepreneurs.

Critics are calling it a dramatic, romantic, elevated “girl boss” story that effervesces. A regional exclusive screening!

“Centering around Haley Bennett’s sparkling performance, Widow Clicquot is a visually impressive tale of resilience that leaves a pleasing aftertaste on the palette.”

Leaving CAFOs Behind: Diverse Opportunities for Independent Farms

October 2, 2024
7:00 pm

Is it possible to transform a factory farm into a sustainable farming operation? YES! Find out how these two farming families did that in two very different ways! What does it take for a CAFO operator to transform a factory farm into an independent, sustainable farming operation? Two different farming families will share just how they did that at the upcoming JFAN Annual Meeting. Tim, Deleana and Curt Roseland transitioned their CAFO into a humane, sustainable hoop house operation to raise hogs for Niman Ranch. Tanner Faaborg, recently profiled in a New York Times article, converted his family’s 2200-head contract operation with Iowa Select into a specialty mushroom farm for medicinal tinctures and a coffee blend. Each will share how their similar beginnings of raising hogs took different turns when shuttering their CAFOs. Tim and Deleana Roseland will talk about why they first raised hogs in confinement, what precipitated their decision to switch to hoop houses to independently raise hogs for Niman Ranch, and what it took to do that. Their son, Curt, will share his experiences of joining the family farm and why he encourages other young farmers to raise hogs traditionally rather than becoming trapped with a CAFO. Following the Roselands, Alicia LaPorte, Niman Ranch Executive Director, will share the findings of a 2019 Iowa State University report that reveals how much Niman Ranch’s independent livestock producers contribute to Iowa’s economy. Tanner Faaborg will talk about what it was like for his family to operate their CAFO, including experiences contracting with Iowa Select, and why they decided to stop. He’ll share how, with the blessings of his family, he is developing the former hog confinement into a specialty mushroom farm, aptly named 1100 Farm, and rewilding the property in the process. Tanner will include how he convinced his brother, a lifelong Iowa Select employee, to leave CAFOs behind and join him in the business. He’ll also outline his vision of using the farm as a model so other farmers can see there are viable, enjoyable alternatives to industrial livestock production and that it’s possible to transition away from CAFOs. Rounding out the evening Kara Shannon, Director of Farm Animal Welfare Policy at the ASPCA, will give a brief overview and status report of the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, a part of the 2024 Farm Bill under negotiation, that would harm the Roselands and other independent livestock farmers who now have access to the California market through Proposition 12. An audience Question and Answer session will follow the presentations.

This event is designed for voters to learn more about each candidate’s platform in a relaxed, non-debate setting. Questions will pertain to topics important to Chamber member businesses.

 

"We’re excited to offer a forum where voters can meet the candidates face-to-face and get to know their vision for our community," said Chamber Director Mendy McAdams.

Each candidate will have a few minutes to address the audience about what’s important to them. From 6 pm to 7 pm, Representative Jeff Shipley and candidate Thomas O’Donnell will be on stage. From 7 pm to 8pm, Senator Adrian Dickey and candidate Lisa Ossian will take their turn. All candidates will have a few minutes for closing.

 

Seats running unopposed will not be featured in this forum. We will be enforcing time limits per question. This is the public’s opportunity to meet the candidates and see where they stand on the issues.

 

This event is free and open to the public. People can be very passionate about politics and the Chamber expects the public to be respectful and kind. No shouting from the audience will be tolerated and there will be no questions from the audience. We expect everyone to behave appropriately.

All Skill Levels are Welcome!

Already attended a Beginning Wheel Class with Jessi? Sign-up and come out again! Continue to practice your skills, and get expert feedback guidance - build muscle memory!!

Watch demonstrations from Jessi Tucci, ask questions and then try your own hand at throwing several pieces.

This workshop will expose you to: how to center clay on the wheel, and how to pull a small form (cups or bowls). This class is about the process of working with clay on the wheel rather than a specific outcome.

Each participant will complete at least 1-2 cups or bowls.

If desired the Studio Team will glaze and fire your creation to make it food-microwave-dishwasher safe -- for pick-up at a later date.

Instructor, Materials, Supplies, Tools and Equipment are included.

What to wear: Students must wear closed toed shoes for safety and ceramic wheel students should wear clothes they do not mind getting messy.

About Instructor Jessi Tucci

Jessi Tucci has been working with clay for 15 years.

She had found a wheel in the back of her high school's ceramic room and begged her teacher to use it. With too many students in one class she had to stay after school hours to play around on the wheel.

It was an immediate addiction.

Restless after high school Jessi moved around the country and every semester, at every college Jessi took a ceramic class, even after she had way too many art credits. Functional pottery is her passion.
