2nd Tuesday at Two – at The Gaebler Café

2nd Tuesday at Two is a new monthly micro-event series at Billie Creek, held on the second Tuesday of each month at 2:00 PM, and designed for relaxed creativity, good conversation, and something sweet to enjoy along the way.

Each month, guests are invited to gather at The Gaebler Café for a small, hands-on activity or craft—ranging from seasonal projects to playful builds—paired with a café drink and a house-made treat. It’s an easygoing way to spend an afternoon, try something new, and enjoy the charm of the village without committing to a full-day event.

The cost is $20 per person, which includes all activity materials, one café beverage, and one treat.

Whether you’re coming with a friend or treating yourself to a quiet afternoon out, 2nd Tuesday at Two offers a simple, creative pause in the middle of the week.
