Join us on September 12th from 8:30am to 10am for a talk by local author Ryan Schnurr. He’ll dive into 'The Theory and Practice of Rivers,' exploring how rivers, stories, and community memories are all connected, drawing from his work on Fort Wayne’s Maumee River. We’ll also come together to create a collective 'river story' poem. It's a great chance to see rivers in a new light and discover fresh ways to connect with nature through the lens of water.
