Hey y'all!
These summer nights are a great time to spend with a community of friends having fun. Join Prairie View Hobbies each week on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or both! The Daily Grind Specialty Cafe is a perfect spot to grab some coffee and let your thoughts percolate over a chess game every Tuesday evening from 6p to 8p. And The Princeton Public Library is the best place to hang out, discussing tactics and swapping stories over the boards every Wednesday evening from 5:30p to 7:30p. We're growing a community of neighbors and players across the county. We're teaching beginners and taking lessons from veterans. All are welcome!
