| That's Hot: The Fleet's Summer Sizzler Rocks the Science in June | 
The Fleet celebrates the season of tank tops and flip flops in style at the next fun-filled Science on the Rocks party. Ring in the summer with a tasty Deadhead Rum concoction, and let them transform you into a rum expert at a tasting seminar. Take your taste buds on a trip across the Pacific by sampling Sushi On a Roll seafood and Sensational Treats' Hawaiian shave ice; then return to local tastes from The South Park Abbey and craft brews from Mike Hess Brewing, Aztec Brewing Company and Manzanita Brewing. Have fun with Slinkies, solar beads, rollercoasters and bubbles! And ride home in luxury at a discount with Uber. More>>
This event is sponsored by Mossy Toyota.
Thursday, June 13; 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
