Care Partners presents our first ever Brain Health Fair on Saturday, July 19 from 10am to noon! You’ll find us outdoors at the end of Wisconsin Street (between Drury Lane Books and East Bay Suites) with booths from community businesses and organizations featuring tips and tricks for loving your brain. Explore habits and activities for all ages that encourage brain health across the life span, as well as information and support for those living with memory loss. See below for the latest list of participating organizations and activities!

*In case of rain or super high winds, we’ll move the party indoors to The Hub, 10 Broadway, Grand Marais!

This event is made possible in part by a generous grant from Arrowhead Cooperative’s Operation Round Up – thank you!!
