Curious individuals and serious tabletop gamers can drop by anytime the convention is happening to play games like Magic: The Gathering, Role-Playing Game (RPG) “taste test” sessions, and a wide assortment of modern board games. A few games to expect include: Fromage, Kiwi Chow Down, Settlers of Catan, Dice Throne, Daggerheart, and (of course) Dungeons & Dragons! There will also be a board game swap going on at the same time, so gamers who are looking to refresh their stash should bring a game to trade out during the event. The library is also collaborating with The Gaming Emporium, Gamers Forge, DCE Gaming Club, and Evercon for additional activities so that every single game will be run by someone experienced—meaning anyone can jump in and play games they have always wanted to try or maybe have never heard of! No matter participants’ experience levels, this event offers people a chance to play something new and meet fellow gamers in the community. And in the spirit of playing games, there will also be a prize drawing in the afternoon. Anyone familiar with MCPL will know that games are an important part of what the library has to offer. Gaming programs provide patrons with stories that both educate and entertain, giving people a reason, and a space, to gather and work together. With all of this in mind, the International Games Month mini-con is a perfect embodiment of what the library seeks to provide with its events.

Discover how to move beyond managing leadership problems and start influencing the decisions, behaviors, and systems that create them. Training is an activity. Development is a result. What leaders tolerate becomes culture. And accountability starts with all of us. |

Holiday Lights Where: The Highground, Neillsville When: Regular Business Hours Info: The Highground Holiday Lights program offers a special way to celebrate the season while honoring loved ones. Designed to add a touch of magic to the Park during winter, visitors are invited to experience its beauty in a whole new light—even when snow blankets the ground. While the Park naturally draws more guests in the warmer months, this festive lighting display aims to inspire supporters and travelers to visit and reflect, regardless of the weather. Radiant “Honor Stars” cast a gentle glow across the Plaza each evening, shaping moments of remembrance into light. Adorned with 25 twinkling LED lights outlining their form, each star includes an 8″x9″ card—a heartfelt tribute to honor or memorialize a cherished loved one or organization. Star sponsorship ($125) – Bringing five months of reflection and warmth to our community. To personalize your star with wording and/or photos, please email Bonnie at [email protected] or call 715-743-4224. |
