By Katie Heppner, Regional Director of the North Central Small Business Development Center and CLC Foundation Board Member
It’s my honor to invite you to Hats Off, Central Lakes College’s annual showcasing event. Mark your calendars for April 25 for an evening brimming with all things CLC. We invite you to join us at the picturesque Catalyst by Nature Link on Clark Lake in Nisswa for an event that promises to be both memorable and meaningful.
Experience One: Hats Off (5-7pm)
Kickstart the evening with Hats Off, our main event from 5 to 7 p.m. It’s a celebration of CLC’s programs, students, and activities. Immerse yourself in an interactive showcase of CLC programs, where you’ll witness firsthand the impact of community support and partnerships on student success. But that’s not all – indulge in signature cocktails and mocktails expertly crafted to narrate the CLC story in a deliciously unique way. And let’s not forget about the delectable heavy appetizers and the chance to showcase your creativity in our hat competition – don your best and most imaginative hat for a chance to win!
Experience Two: Night Cap (7-8:30 p.m)
For those seeking an exclusive after-party experience, Night Cap awaits you from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Venture upstairs to our private speakeasy, transformed for the occasion, where you’ll sip on expertly mixed cocktails and mocktails by a flair bartender. Indulge your sweet tooth at the live flaming flambe station, and groove to the beats of d’Lakes, a rising Minnesota-based band. Spaces for this experience are limited, so reserve your spot early to avoid disappointment!
