A documentary about dogs that explores themes of humanity. Community, love, conflict and legacy all come into play when a healthy litter of puppies is suddenly paralyzed and no one knows why. Vets recommend putting the dogs down, but a group of courageous women tally together and nothing is off the table as they try Chinese herbs, acupuncture, underwater treadmills and even chicken soup to save the pups. Between the dogs' will to live and the women's perserverance, this incredible journey leads to outcomes that were never thought possible. Director will be having a Q & A after the film. The Monadnock Humane Society will be here with information about adoption (maybe some four legged guests as well).

Garrison Keillor Tonight is an evening of stand-up, storytelling, audience song, and poetry. One man, one microphone. There are sung sonnets, limericks and musical jokes, and the thread that runs through it is the beauty of growing old. There is the News from Lake Wobegon, a town booming with new entrepreneurs, makers of artisanal firewood and gourmet meatloaf, breeders of composting worms, and dogs trained to do childcare. But some things endure, such as the formation of the Living Flag on Main Street, citizens in tight formation wearing red, white or blue caps, and Mr. Keillor among them, standing close to old neighbors, Myrtle Krebsbach (“Truckstop”) and Julie Christensen (“Bruno, The Fishing Dog”) and Clint Bunsen. And an a cappella sing-along with the audience singing from memory an odd medley of patriotic songs, pop standards, hymns, and ending with the national anthem. SOLD OUT!
