What is your water story?
We Are Water MN of Otter Tail County wants to know
November 15, 2021 – Otter Tail County, MN– Otter Tail County is hosting a project called We Are Water MN. It is run by the Minnesota Humanities Center and is a traveling exhibit and community engagement initiative. The Humanities Center supports the project with training, funds, and events to learn about local water issues, rediscover the many reasons we each care about clean water, and practice community-identified ways to protect water. There is almost one year of planning and then eight weeks of public programming, events, and display of a water-themed exhibit.
Otter Tail County is in the process of bringing together organizations and individuals to lend a voice to the project. The goal is to work together to identify water issues to focus on and then decide what events and programs to plan together. The next several months will be spent learning from each other, planning together, and preparing to launch the public exhibition and events.
Otter Tail County needs people involved who can share their knowledge, planning, time, and networks. By working together, the group hopes to tell a more complete story about water in Otter Tail County, including the reasons that water is important to our families, traditions, pastimes, and economy.
The Otter Tail County committee is gauging initial interest in this project, with a hope of bringing the planning group together over the winter. If you are interested in exploring this more, please contact Chris LeClair at cleclair@co.ottertail.mn.us or call 218.998.8105.
