SUMMARY:PRE-FESTIVAL EVENT: Adult Afternoon Program - Technology Use and Brain Wellness
DESCRIPTION:Join LaReina Tipping\, Program Manager\, from the Brain Center of Green Bay for Technology Use & Brain Wellness. \nTechnology use can actually cause structural changes in the brain. Pings\, alerts\, rings\, and notifications can shift our focus in a way that can lead to long-lasting difficulties with paying attention. Difficulties paying attention can lead to poorer performance on academic\, personal\, and professional tasks. \nLets embrace neuroplasticity\, be mindful and balance our technology use. \nThis program will last approximately one hour and will take place in the Shattuck Community Room. \nThis program was made possible by the Friends of the Neenah Library and the Neenah Public Library Trust Fund. Donations to the Friends and the Trust Fund are always accepted and appreciated. \nEveryone is welcome. If accommodations are needed to attend\, please contact the library administrative office at 920-886-6315 or by email at library@neenahlibrary.org at least 24 hours in advance of the program.

SUMMARY:PRE-FESTIVAL EVENT: Cedarburg Collector's Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Cedarburg History Museum’s Collectors Weekend \nSaturday\, October 3\, 2026 • 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.\nSunday\, October 4\, 2026 • 12:00–4:00 p.m.\nCedarburg History Museum\, N58W6194 Columbia Road\, Cedarburg \nHistory isn’t just something to look at behind glass. During the Cedarburg History Museum’s Collectors Weekend\, visitors can see\, hear\, touch\, test\, and experience the technology of the past. \nThis special two-day event explores the science\, engineering\, mechanics\, and ingenuity behind everyday objects from earlier generations. See how a mechanical typewriter transforms the push of a key into a printed letter. Examine the gears\, levers\, springs\, and mechanisms inside vintage tools. Hear a working jukebox select and play a record. Visitors will also have opportunities to try their hand at vintage tools and historic technology and discover how people solved everyday problems long before computers and electronics. \nOn Saturday\, members of the Wisconsin Division of The Wheelmen will bring the science of early bicycling to life. The Wheelmen are part of a national organization of collectors\, restorers\, riders\, and historians dedicated to preserving America’s bicycling heritage. Their interests span the remarkable evolution of the bicycle—from early velocipedes and “boneshakers” to enormous high-wheel bicycles and the later “safety bicycle.” \nRather than simply displaying these machines\, Wheelmen traditionally ride and demonstrate historic bicycles\, helping audiences understand how and why their designs developed. At Collectors Weekend\, visitors can get an up-close look at the engineering of early bicycles and explore questions of balance\, gearing\, wheel size\, steering\, materials\, mechanical advantage\, and the physics that made these extraordinary machines work. \nOn Sunday\, the Cedarburg-based Rods-N-Relics Car Club takes the spotlight with vintage automobiles. The club brings together local automobile enthusiasts around its mission of “Fun with Cars” while also supporting the community\, including assistance for young people pursuing careers in the automotive field. Visitors can examine classic vehicles up close and discover how automotive technology evolved—from engines and transmissions to steering\, suspension\, braking\, and other mechanical systems. It’s an opportunity to talk directly with the people who collect\, maintain\, and preserve these pieces of transportation history. \nThroughout the weekend\, the museum will also feature a working jukebox\, typewriter demonstrations\, vintage tools to try\, and opportunities to explore materials from the Cedarburg History Museum Archives. Collectors and demonstrators will be on hand to answer questions and show how historic objects actually function. \nThis year’s Collectors Weekend will also honor Ruth Cook and her contributions to preserving and sharing local history. Museum visitors can enter for door prizes\, and free root beer will add a little old-fashioned refreshment to the weekend. \nWhether you love bicycles\, automobiles\, mechanical gadgets\, local history\, or simply want to know “How did that thing work?”\, Collectors Weekend offers a chance to experience history through the machines\, tools\, and technology that helped shape everyday life. \nSaturday\, October 3: 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.\nFeaturing the Wisconsin Wheelmen \nSunday\, October 4: 12:00–4:00 p.m.\nFeaturing the Rods-N-Relics Car Club \nCedarburg History Museum & Visitor Center\nN58W6194 Columbia Road\, Cedarburg\, Wisconsin\n(262) 377-9620

SUMMARY:PRE-FESTIVAL EVENT: Badger Talk -  Bringing Dino-Birds to Life
DESCRIPTION:This is a free\, in-person talk hosted on October 3\, 2026 at 11:00 AM by Waupaca Area Public Library in Waupaca\, WI. There will be charcuterie boards for the audience to snack on during the presentation. No registration required. This talk will not be available virtually.\n\nBirds have captured every corner of our planet. Long before modern birds appeared\, some dinosaurs started to show feathers rather than scales. With the help of powerful X-rays\, we are trying to disentangle the chemical remains in some of the most iconic dino-bird fossils\, including the famous Archaeopteryx\, and what we can learn about the life of these amazing creatures.\n\nUwe Bergmann is a Professor in the Physics Department of UW-Madison. He specializes on the development and application of novel X-ray techniques based on the most powerful x-ray sources. He has studies ancient manuscripts including the Archimedes Palimpsest\, fossils\, water\, and how plants split water to produce the oxygen we breath.
