Join us after the Wichita Oasis picnic potluck @ Murdock Park to discuss A Fever in the Heartland: The Ku Klux Klan's Plot to Take Over America, and the Woman Who Stopped Them by Timothy Egan. This book is a historical thriller that tells the riveting story of the Klan's rise to power in the 1920s, the cunning con man who drove that rise, and the woman who stopped them.

Step into delightful nonsense where everyone has a reason to celebrate (especially you). Enjoy tea, coffee, birthday cake, and lively conversation, plus a whimsical white elephant gift exchange.

Bring a wrapped gift that’s either $5 or less, or something delightfully odd from your home (good condition, family-friendly). The stranger, the better.

We’re celebrating everyone’s unbirthday in proper topsy-turvy fashion—but if your actual birthday happens to fall on 6/7, do let us know… so we can put you to work while the rest of us celebrate!

The event runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. Feel free to stop by the Wichita Oasis table any time. Food trucks will be onsite for lunch
