1. Bill Batchelder, Bemidji Woolen Mills
2. Mitch Blessing, Design Angler / Bemidji Sculpture Walk
3. Nicole Foss, Beltrami County History Center
4. John Gonzalez, Bemidji State University Assistant Professor
5. Dr. Richard Hanson, Bemidji State University President
6. Hannah Hutchins, Bemidji State University Student
7. Dave Larson, Bemidji Mayor
8. Kimberle G Nagle, LaSalle Group
9. Julie Saari, This is my town: Bemidji

John Eggers will be our special guest event host for the night.

Local artists will join in the fun too by displaying their interpretations of our favorite folklore duo, Paul and Babe.

What’s Pecha Kucha Night? Presenters are given six minutes and forty seconds to share twenty slides and talk about almost anything they want. PKN is always free, open to the public, and family-friendly.

Celebrate Bemidji with laughter, learning, new friends, and lots of red plaid at the New City Ballroom, February 23rd at 6:30pm.
