During this gathering, each Dane County Park Friends Group and Park Partner Group will have an opportunity to give a quick “3-minute, 3-slide” overview of their major projects and accomplishments over the past year.
To allow time for everyone to present, we will be strict with the 3 minute time limit. This is meant to be a quick overview so folks know who they want to connect with during the networking hours. Here are some suggestions of what to focus on:
- Projects/events that are unique or that went really well that you think might be a model for other groups
- Knowledge you gained over the year that other groups might want to talk to you about
- Problems or challenges that you would like help/suggestions on or areas where your group might want to partner with other groups.
After the presentations, we will have an opportunity for open networking time to give you the chance to connect with presenters to learn more about projects that peaked your interest.
We strongly recommend our Friends Group member and partner groups plan to attend.
If you are a member of a Dane County Parks Friends Group or Dane County Partner Group and would like to present at this event, please coordinate with your group to decide who will present and indicate on the registration page that you will be a presenter.
Please encourage others from your group to attend! This will be a great opportunity to network with other groups and share ideas and information.

Presented by the Four Lakes Traditional Music Collective (FLTMC), the Sugar Maple Music Festival is a two-day outdoor festival in Madison, WI exploring American roots music. Performances, workshops, and jams are held concurrently at three stages. The mainstage features bluegrass, Cajun, Americana, county and old-time music performed by regional and national artists. The Roots & Reasons stage offers a more intimate setting for festival attendees to interact with the artists through interviews, discussions, workshops and demonstrations. Interviews with performers allow festival attendees to learn about the history, culture, and techniques of the music. And the jam tents offer festival attendees the opportunity to play music side-by-side with some of the mainstage performers. Attendees of all skill-level are encouraged to bring their instruments and join in! This family-friendly festival is free for kids 17 and under. David Landau performs music for kids on both Friday and Saturday and the Wild Rumpus Circus Camp offers young children’s activities on Saturday afternoon.
