Backyard Beauty in Minnesota
|
Award-winning wildlife photographer Bill Webb shares his stunning wildlife photography in this motivational presentation. Discovering the beauty all around us is the perfect way to stay grounded in creation! If Bill Webb’s name sounds familiar, it’s likely because he is a retired band director from Edina who was recently inducted into the NFHS National High School Hall of Fame.

Weather, Climate Change, & More!
|
Fox 9 Chief Meteorologist Ian Leonard brings his knowledge and sense of humor as he talks about weather patterns, climate science, and all the wildfire smoke we dealt with this summer. He lives his life through one simple run-on sentence; “I love my life, I love my wife, I love my daughters and I love my dog…I kinda like the cats.” He works tirelessly for the 8,000 plus athletes of Special Olympics Minnesota all year long with the annual Polar Plunge in the winter and his Bad Pants Open Golf Tournament in the fall. Come to learn, laugh, and ask questions!
