Pie, Place, and Possibility: Rural Assembly Everywhere Gathering and Watch Party!
September 17, 2025 | 11 AM – 4:30 PM CDT
@ The YES! House | 726 Prentice St, Granite Falls, MN
Join DoPT and The YES! House on Wednesday, September 17th for a full day of connection, creativity, and community as we host a local watch party and live gathering for Rural Assembly Everywhere in Granite Falls!
Rural Assembly Everywhere is the annual virtual gathering of the Rural Assembly, a program of the Center for Rural Strategies. Everywhere brings together people from across the country who care deeply about their rural places, neighbors, and community issues. Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to live, work, and dream in rural places; from storytelling and intergenerational knowledge-sharing to building community spaces and crafting futures rooted in abundance.
