The Headwaters Center for Lifelong Learning (HCLL) returns to live programming this fall, starting Tuesday, Sept. 7 at the Armory Arts and Events Center in Park Rapids.
The eight weekly programs run from 1 to 2:30 p.m. and are free of charge and handicap accessible. Masks are encouraged.
The nonprofit educational program will serve cake to celebrate its 20th anniversary at the first program.
During the past year and a half, HCLL made some of its most popular, past programs available for remote viewing, but in-person program resumes with presentations originally scheduled for the spring 2020 series.
The fall schedule is as follows:
