We had so much fun taking a group up to Jasper's Theater in Park Rapids last year that we decided… why stop at one? 😄
So we’re doing it again. And again. And again. And again.

That’s right. Four group bus trips are planned for next summer, each packed with great music, good company, and zero driving stress. Hop aboard, grab a seat, and get ready for a feel-good afternoon that hits all the right notes. 🎶🚌

Whether you work with individuals living with memory loss or love someone navigating it, Dementia Live is an immersive experience that simulates the physical and mental challenges of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Participants wear sensory-altering devices while completing everyday tasks, followed by a guided debrief to reflect, learn, and walk away as a better communicator. Fair warning: it’s eye-opening in the best way.

The Perham Public Schools speech team has a record number of students this year, and that means one very important thing—they need judges! Speech judges are essential to making competitions possible.

Judging is a paid opportunity, no prior experience is required (we’ll train you!), and it’s a meaningful way to support students who are working hard, building confidence, and finding their voices. If you enjoy the arts, listening, learning, and giving back, this is a great way to serve our community.

Email Coach Wacker at kwacker@perham.k12.mn.us for more details or to sign up!

Comet Theater will be showing Eleanor the Great on Monday, January 19 starting at 1pm!

After a heartbreaking loss, 94-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein—sharp-witted, stubborn, and unapologetically troublesome—spins a story to cope with her grief. But as her vivid tale begins to blur the line between imagination and reality, Eleanor finds herself on a journey that is as risky as it is revealing, forcing her to confront the truths she’s spent a lifetime avoiding.

Cost: $6 includes pop and popcorn | No RSVP needed!

Emergencies are stressful enough. Smart911 helps take the guesswork out of the moment. 🚨

Smart911 is a free emergency response service from Otter Tail County that helps first responders act faster and smarter when you call 911. You create a secure safety profile that pops up on the dispatcher’s screen and can include things like how many people live in your home, medical conditions, pets in the house, and other details that matter when seconds count.

Smart911 also sends location-based alerts by phone, text, or email for severe weather, road closures, and public safety threats. Your information stays private and is only shared with authorized emergency personnel when you dial 911.

Set up your profile anytime at https://ottertailcounty.gov/smart911, or join us for an information session on Wednesday, January 14 from 10:30–11:30am at the New York Mills Public Library.

A few minutes now can make a big difference later.

Winter in Minnesota is beautiful… and a little bit slippery. ❄️
One minute you’re admiring the snow, the next you’re testing gravity on the sidewalk.

If staying upright feels harder this time of year, you’re not alone. Extra traction, walkers, canes, or other mobility supports can make a big difference.

Need mobility equipment to help keep you steady? Check out the inventory at our Mobility Market. It’s a free community resource with gently used gear that’s ready to help you move through winter with more confidence and fewer close calls.

Because falling is optional. Staying independent is the goal.
