Attendees will be able to identify one new idea or concept learned or have a richer cultural life. Attendees are asked, "Please share something new you learned or how your life was enriched because of the program? If so, how?"
ECRL staff planned and implemented a variety of historical and heritage events that occurred around the region. A selection of these artists and instructors were: historical reenactor Arn Kind and Minnesota historian and photographer Doug Ohamn. A selection of the attendee feedback is below:
