Hey there! Are you new in town? Are you a local who wants to make more friends? Do you love nature walks with other people? Are you annoyed by how few coffee shops are open on Sundays? If any of these apply to you, come join us at Blue Sky Coffee for a morning walk to get some easy exercise and community building! The first of its kind here at Blue Sky, this event is for anyone who would love to get outside, experience some nature, get some steps in, AND meet new people in a low-key, no-pressure setting.
How it works:
Show up sometime between 8:45 and 9am, grab a drink or snack, grab a name tag. Once folks are ready, we’ll drive over to Wright State (you’re welcome to carpool or drive yourself)! Then we’ll walk through the Wright State University Biological Preserve trails for about an hour (or until people are ready to head back). Once we’re done, we’ll head back to Blue Sky (feel free to get a refill), and then hang out for about 30 minutes to hang out before parting ways.
Extra Info:

Any fitness level is welcome!
This won’t be a fast-paced hike – we’re more interested in taking in nature, connecting with the others on the hike, and sipping our beverages.
The trails are mostly gravel and dirt, so it may not be very friendly for folks in a wheelchair or for folks who are unsteady on their feet.
It’s okay to leave early – we’d love to have you there, even if it’s only for part of the time! That being said, please don’t arrive late. It will probably be hard to find us once we’ve left for WSU.

Caffeinated Community
2025-07-24 18:00 - 20:00
Hey there! Are you new in town? Are you a local who wants to make more friends? Either way, everyone is welcome! Come join us at Blue Sky Coffee for an evening of building community and friendships! The first of its kind here at Blue Sky, this event is for anyone who would love to meet new people and make new friends in a low-key, no-pressure setting.

How it works (it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3):
1) Show up!
2) Grab a name tag and a drink (or snack)!
3) Introduce yourself to someone new!

Tips for the Nervous Folks:

It’s okay to be nervous! Meeting new people and making new friends can be vulnerable and scary. Feeling nervous isn’t a problem. The people you’re talking to are probably just as nervous as you are.
Use a conversation prompt (we’ll have some on the walls) or give someone a compliment to start a new conversation.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, grab some of our Legos or colored pencils and distract yourself with them! It can help if you’re feeling vulnerable and others might feel inspired to join you.
It’s okay to arrive late or leave early – we’d love to have you there, even if it’s only for part of the time!

Join other local book lovers to connect over stories and ideas at our monthly Silent Book Club. Bring your current read, a new book you’ve been dying to delve into, or grab a book off our shelves! We meet the first Monday of every month.
How it works:
In the first half hour, grab a drink, a snack, find a comfy spot to settle in, and say hi to the other bibliophiles. We’ll then spend an hour silently reading our own books. A 5 minute warning will be given, and we’ll shift into a discussion portion. This last half hour will be spent informally chatting about what we’ve all read and our thoughts.
This is a great way to connect with other readers, get book recommendations, and get lost in a good story. Perfect for the avid reader, or those looking to dip their feet back into reading!
