Every person attending the event will receive a Kindness Token and Kind Works will spend a few moments before Steve's talk explaining the "Y” and "How" behind these tokens and more importantly how powerful kindness can be!
Our Kindness Tokens are made by volunteers in the spirit of spreading kindness and supporting Kind Works Inc. These handmade ceramic tokens are designed to pass from person to person as givers recognize kind acts around them. They are a great way to acknowledge the kindness around us and what better way to support the amazing and inspirational work of Steve Gross than to launch a community ripple effect of kindness.
About the show…
Life is Good®: Optimism Over Adversity by Steve Gross, Founder & Chief Playmaker of the Life is Good Playmaker Project
Steve Gross has dedicated his career to leading healing efforts in communities impacted by trauma. His unique approach, called the Playmaker Practice, emphasizes joy, social connection, optimism, engagement and control – all elements that serve as the foundation for every healthy community. The lessons he learned in the field now helps organizations across the globe grow through challenging and uncertain times, emerging stronger, more connected, and joyful than they were before.
As Steve says – professional development sprouts from personal development.
Steve’s talk speaks to the individual – with tools on filling up their cup, building life-changing relationships and connecting with their deeper purpose. His unique approach to engaging audiences in learning sparks a real-time understanding of an individual’s role in fostering positive culture, leadership and customer experience.
Steve’s high energy, humor, and simple delivery of these deep, life-altering ideas leave audiences feeling inspired and empowered to leverage the power of optimism in their personal and professional lives.

Pop-Up Merchandise Shop @ Edmond Town Hall Concert- “Back to the Garden”
Join us at our pop-up shop at the Edmond Town Hall concert “Back to the Garden” !!!
We’re very excited for the unique opportunity to showcase our merchandise for all concert goers!
About the show…
The Woodstock Music Festival was the ultimate rock concert, a celebration of peace, love and music. Now, more than fifty years later, let Edmond Town Hall help you create your own Woodstock Event at Back To The Garden 1969!
Formed by Gary Adamson in 2009, this is a group of versatile musicians and singers who have come together to celebrate the music, and spirit, of the Woodstock Era.
The Music:
The band recreates the classic sounds associated with Woodstock. The musical performances are a tribute to the artists who made Woodstock great, including Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jimi Hendrix, Sly &The Family Stone, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, The Band, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Canned Heat, Ten Years After, The Who, Mountain, Richie Havens, Melanie, Arlo Guthrie, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Grateful Dead, Country Joe & The Fish,…and more!
The Experience:
BTTG 1969 brings you a full multimedia theatrical event, recreating the Woodstock Experience through period costuming, lighting, video, and sound bites. Storytelling also enhances the mood, with tales of the festival, the legendary artists who performed, and the backdrop of the tumultuous decade of the 60’s.
Not your typical tribute band!
Most tribute bands perform the music of only one artist.
BTTG 1969 is a tribute to a very special moment in time, and to the many artists whose music will forever be known as “Classic Rock.” From nostalgic Baby Boomers to intrigued Gen Z’ers, and all those in between, there is something in this show for EVERYONE!
So, grab your tie dye and love beads…and celebrate Woodstock!
