2026 Traditional Green Skills
By DKO Pike
Mark your calendars for one of the best networking and learning opportunities in our region.
The Traditional and Green Skills Event, which celebrates the end of winter, will be Saturday, March 14, 2026. $15 registration includes lunch and childcare at no additional cost.
Prairie Farm High School has again generously donated facilities for a full day of talks and roundtable discussions of timely topics to help us learn from one another. The idea is that if we know who knows what, we will all be healthier, safer, and thus happier. Surely this qualifies as community prosperity.
Categories of topics include:
Home skills for gardening, preserving, and cooking
Construction skills, including how to build a sauna and tool sharpening
Land management–controlling invasive species and planning our future
Learning to improve critical thinking skills for adults
Fun activities for younger students
SPEAKERS: We are currently gathering suggestions for speakers. If you are interested or want to recommend someone, please contact Douglas Owens-Pike at 612-220-191.
There will be no entry fee for speakers, plus the option of a table to display their products and services.
SPONSORS: Sponsors help keep registration fees low. We would like to recognize you, your business, or your organization for helping fund this event, so please call Nancy Frank at 715-651-7840. February 20 is the deadline to confirm your level of commitment (ranging from $50-200+), which ensures your best visibility in our advertising campaign.
VOLUNTEERS: your willingness to help with a variety of tasks (setup, tear down, and other tasks for everyone) waives the entrance fee. Contact Emily (phone/email) for how to best apply your time and skills.
If you have questions or would like to be involved with planning, contact one of our co-chairs:
