4-6 PM Knitted Knockers Eagle’s Nest FREE
Knitted Knockers is a volunteer organization that coordinates the knitting and distribution of knitted prosthetic breasts for those who have lost their breasts to cancer. Knitted Knockers are knit to various sizes in Cascade Ultra Pima Cotton and stuffed with PolyFiberFil. Knockers only take a few hours to knit but can make a very big difference in how a woman feels about herself. Tempe Yarn and Fiber will provide the yarn and pattern. All you need to bring are US size 6 knitting needles (double points for knitting in the round or regular for knitting flat). We will have individuals there to help you out, but some knitting experience is best. For more information, check out www.knittedknockers.org |

6-9 PM Dinner at El Gato Azul Meet in Lobby at 5:45 $35
El Gato Azul is a charming local restaurant in Prescott serving southwest inspired tapas. Tapas are small plates that can be shared. It’s a great way to try a few bites of a wide variety of dishes without overeating (although that’s still possible)! As we arrive, a sampling of tapas will arrive at our table. You’ll then get your choice of salad, entree, and dessert. Price includes fixed menu selections, nonalcoholic drinks, and gratuity. For more information, check out the restaurant’s website: www.elgatoazulprescott.com. Limited to 12. |
