It Can’t Happen Here – Free Informal Readers Theater

by

Join a group of semi-theater people in an informal reading of the play “It Can’t Happen Here” adapted from Sinclair Lewis’ book written almost 90 years ago. Audience Participation guaranteed. A fun and challenging event with no admission charge.

This is a Historical, Political, and Dynamic work by a Nobel Prize winning author from the area. We recommend parents of children 13 or younger consider their child’s maturity and curiosity about the subject matter before attending.

October 27th, 4PM-6PM Reading is less than one hour with optional discussion over dinner to follow.

Head out to Lake Carlos State Park for the Fall Birding Walk event.

birding

Enjoy a short program on birds, before learning some birding tips. We will then head out on a 45 minute birding walk to see what we can find. The naturalist will discuss what causes birds to migrate, why some do and others don’t, along with many other birding tips that will help you continue your birding adventure in the future. This is great for beginning birders. Bring your binoculars and camera if you have them, otherwise some will be available to share. Meet at the Visitor Center.

Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Programs and events may be canceled due to inclement weather.

A park vehicle pass is required to enter the park and can be purchased at the park office. $35/annual or $7/day.
