‘Carl the Collector’ launch party in Manitowish Waters Nov. 10

Celebrate the new PBS KIDS animated series “Carl the Collector” at this family event at the North Lakeland Discovery Center from 10 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Nov. 10. In partnership with local organizations serving neurodivergent youth and kids with autism, come watch episodes of the show, enjoy sensory-friendly activities and quiet room, explore the Discovery Center, meet a horse from the Scholl Community Impact Group, and at 11 a.m. enjoy a special program from a Discovery Center naturalist.

“Carl the Collector” follows Carl, a warm-hearted raccoon who loves collecting things. The show breaks new ground as the first PBS KIDS series to feature central characters on the autism spectrum. Carl’s attention to detail, distinctive way of looking at the world, and extensive collections help him solve problems around Fuzzytown with his neurodivergent and neurotypical friends. The series premieres Nov. 14 on PBS Wisconsin!
