Sketches of Minnesota – Digging Into The Emily Mine: What Lies Ahead

Join the Minnesota Humanities Center, Danger Boat Productions, and the Emily Mine Information Group for a special return visit of the Sketches of Minnesota civic improv comedy tour! These free events use laughter and comedy to celebrate Minnesota communities, promote dialogue, bridge divides, and help find ways to work constructively across differences in today’s political environment.
This year, Sketches of Minnesota is back and is partnering with the Emily Mine Information Group on a special event that will use laughter and comedy to dive into an important community conversation exploring the potential impacts of a manganese mine in Emily. The evening will begin with a social hour and dinner, followed by a facilitated conversation with two experts who will share information about mine permitting, groundwater interaction with the manganese deposit, and potential impacts of the proposed mine. Audience members will engage with the information presented through both a Q&A and improv comedy show.
