Waubonsee Community Education sets upcoming season of special events

Waubonsee Community College's Community Education has announced their 2016-17 season of special events, and catalogs will arrive in district mailboxes this week.

Main attractions include "National Geographic Live! Secret Underwater Edens" with David Doubilet, the world's leading underwater photographer. Doubilet will share his experiences diving to capture unique images of some of the world's most remote places. His event takes place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22, at the Academic Professional Center, Sugar Grove campus, Route 47 and Waubonsee Drive.

Also, Chris Fleming, a world famous medium, paranormal researcher and spiritualist will deliver a presentation about his first-hand encounters with ghosts, lessons he's learned from the spiritual world and news on current paranormal research. That event takes place at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 4, at the auditorium on the Sugar Grove campus.

A variety of local experiences are also on the schedule, offering participants opportunities to learn cartooning with an Emmy-nominated filmmaker, learn about making better coffee, wine making and all-natural facials. Holiday-themed craft workshops are also scheduled.

The popular "Trips and Tours" offerings are also back, with local excursions that include a visit to the Pullman National Monument and Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Morton Arboretum and the Fireside Dinner Theatre.
