Paint Your Pet
Join us for a fun self-led painting event where we’ll be painting your pets from an image of your choice ! Gray Duck Art will turn your photo into a paint-by-number canvas, making it easy and enjoyable for everyone. Don’t have a pet? No problem! Our artists can prepare a kit featuring nearly any subject—just reach out if you’re unsure and we’ll help you choose the perfect image.
After purchasing your ticket, please email us a photo of your pet following the directions at grayduckart.com/class. Photo submissions must be received 3 WEEKS prior to the event to ensure we have time to create your custom artwork.
Each ticket includes a hand-drawn paint-by-number canvas and a full set of custom-mixed paints, all created by local artists from the Twin Cities (learn more about our team at grayduckart.com/about).
No painting experience needed—just show up and have fun!

Break the Bubble
How have we not been to Wandering Leaf in over a year? Time to fix that!
So wait, this is a singles event right? Or a professional networking thing?
Nope. Break the Bubble is for making friends, pure and simple. You can leave the pick-up lines and elevator speeches at home. Refreshing, isn't it?
What's the format?
* Show up
* Put on a name tag
* Introduce yourself to someone new
I heard these events have themes. What’s up with that?
Yep. Our events have themes because most of us need a little help kickstarting conversations with people we don't know. Question to be announced closer to the event... we want to keep you guessing!
Is this just a Millennials thing?
Nope! Our events are open to anyone over 21!
Sips & Sparks: Speed Dating
Ready to meet local singles face-to-face? Join us for a fun, low-pressure evening of meaningful connections!
Ditch the swiping. Come meet real, local singles in person.
This is your excuse to get out, look good, grab a drink, and actually connect with people face to face. No more endless texting and never meeting in-person, no more guessing.. just a fun, social night where you can talk, laugh, flirt, and see what happens.
Our speed dating events are designed to feel natural and effortless. It’s everything you wish dating apps felt like… but in real life.
Note on Age Range: While this event is geared toward the age range listed in the title, it’s not a strict rule. If you feel like you’d vibe with this crowd, you’re welcome to join. Our goal is always to create a well-balanced group where connections actually make sense.
🎟️ Ticket Pricing
Reserve your spot early! Ticket prices increase once the first 20 tickets have been sold.
Our events are intentionally kept at a comfortable size to ensure everyone has enough time to meet each participant. As events fill up, ticket prices increase, so we recommend reserving your spot early to lock in the best price.
Don’t wait. Secure your ticket before the first 20 spots are gone!

How the Night Works
Start with a Social Mixer
Kick things off with a relaxed mingle. Grab a drink (not included, but highly encouraged), settle in, and get comfortable before the rounds begin.
Easy, Guided Conversations
We keep things flowing so you don’t have to overthink it. Each round includes a fun icebreaker, and our host guides the room so everything feels smooth, upbeat, and never awkward.
Quick, Real Connections
You’ll spend a few minutes with each person, just enough time to catch a vibe before rotating. It’s light, fun, and way more natural than sitting through a full date.
Match the Ones You’re Into
After each round, you’ll mark “friend,” “date,” or “none” on our simple matching system. If it’s mutual, we’ll send you each other’s info the next day.
⸻
A Few Things to Know
⏰ Please arrive 15–30 minutes early to check in and get settled. We start on time, and late arrivals may not be accommodated.
💡 This is meant to be fun! The best way to enjoy it is to stay open, be present, and focus on meeting new people. Some people leave with a match, others leave with new connections—either way, it’s a great night.
⸻
Spots are limited to keep the experience smooth and the ratios balanced. Once we’re full, we’re full.

Halloween Jigsaw Puzzle Contest with Sarah Does Puzzles
See how fast your team can put together a 500 piece puzzle. There will be prizes!
Build a team of up to 4 people and see how quickly you can complete a 500 piece puzzle. Prizes will be awarded to the top finishing teams. There will also be door prizes. All teams get to keep their competition puzzle.
Sign up here!
HOW DOES IT WORK:
Each team will receive the same puzzle concealed in a bag. No one will see the puzzle before the timer starts. After a countdown, teams will open their boxes and start puzzling. A competition judge will monitor teams and record finishing times. Once you have completed your puzzle, you may leave, or stay and work on another puzzle and enjoy a drink or two!
RULES:
You may eat and drink while competing
You may use box top holders and sorting trays
You are allowed to bring extra lighting as long as it does not need to be plugged in to an outlet and does not interfere with the lighting for other competitors. These are great lights to use: https://amzn.to/3IAWd7S
You are not allowed to distract or interfere with other teams
DETAILS:
6-7pm: Optional casual puzzling happy hour. Grab a drink and a snack and warm up for the main event! Practice puzzles will be provided.
7-9pm: Speed puzzling contest starts - It's your time to shine!
Tables are high-tops and each team has their own table.
