SUMMARY:FHDC Great Plains: America's Lingering Wild
DESCRIPTION:Discover the beauty and majesty of America’s Great Plains in the work of award-winning photographer Michael Forsberg. Traveling 100\,000 miles over four years\, Forsberg crisscrossed the Plains from Canada to Mexico\, capturing the wildlife\, habitats\, and conservation challenges in the heart of the continent. \nOriginally a book project\, Forsberg set out to capture what some outside observers call “flyover country” in an attempt to bring attention to and build appreciation for this often-overlooked region. Inspiring\, informative\, and timely – the exhibit is a love letter to this endangered ecosystem. \nOn Friday\, November 3\, join Forsberg at the Discovery Center for a private tour with a VIP Gallery Walk and a public presentation during which he will share the story of the dedicated people working to keep the wild prairie alive. His presentation will reflect deeply on this human-landscape relationship in the tallgrass prairie of the Flint Hills of Kansas and across the prairie of North America. \nGreat Plains features:\n60 full color photographs highlighting the Southern Plains\, Northern Plains\, and Tallgrass Prairie regions\nInsights and behind-the-scenes information from Michael Forsberg\nMaps and diagrams of the Great Plains

SUMMARY:Annular Solar Eclipse Viewing
DESCRIPTION:Join the Discovery Center Education staff and local astronomers for a free and safe viewing of the annular solar eclipse\, which occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth while it is at its farthest point from Earth\, making the moon appear smaller than the sun which creates a “ring of fire” effect in the sky. \nChris Sorensen\, amateur astronomer\, will give a presentation in our classroom at 10 a.m. to learn what makes this type of eclipse special and how to safely view it. Or\, just come to Blue Earth Plaza anytime from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. where solar viewing glasses will be provided while supplies last\, and telescopes will be set up for observing the phenomenon. \nIn Manhattan\, we will have an approximately 70% eclipse\, and it will be at its maximum around 11:45 a.m. \nDon’t miss your chance to see this rare celestial occurrence; you’ll have to wait another eight years before the next one comes around.

SUMMARY:2023 Operation Green Light
DESCRIPTION:America’s counties have a long and proud history of serving our nation’s veterans\, a legacy that continues to this day as we work with our federal\, state and local partners to ensure that the former service members have access to the resources they need to thrive. \nOnce again\, this Veterans Day\, the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO) invite the nation’s 3\,069 counties\, parishes\, and boroughs to join Operation Green Light and show support for veterans by lighting our buildings green from November 6-12. By shining a green light\, county governments and our residents will let veterans know that they are seen\, appreciated and supported. \nCOUNTIES MATTER FOR VETERANS County Veteran Service Officers (CVSOs) in 29 states are responsible for successfully processing more than $52 billion in compensation\, pension\, health care and other benefits for veterans each year. Counties across the nation operate Veterans Treatment Courts\, through which we can connect justice-involved veterans with programs and benefits that can treat underlying mental health and substance abuse conditions. Counties support veterans’ access to stable housing\, employment and education and critical mental health services that treat trauma and prevent suicide.
