Join the revelry and reunion indicative of Los Dias de los Muertos (the Days of the Dead) at Chiripa on Friday, October 14. It's the semi-annual Gallery Night sponsored by the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. Megan Hile Block will demonstrate sugar skull making and decorating from 6 -9 pm. We'll be serving seasonal refreshments. AND, if we're lucky and the truck arrives, you can see some of the new product from the last buying trip to Mexico.
For those of you who cannot join us, visit Megan's terrific blog post showing the skulls she made last year with her family. Megan is an energetic young woman, a fan of Chiripa, and a BIG fan of Latin America. Her short bio is below.
