CALEDONIA—Dozens of people gathered on a beautiful Saturday at Caledonia’s Kinsmen Park for the MICE+ Festival event on September 17, 2022.

Originally known as DICE (Dementia Inclusive Communities Everywhere), the organization realized a need to change their name. Since the impact of dementia related diseases is not limited to cognition, it also affects memory and physical abilities, they added the + to their name and rebranded as MICE+ (Memory Inclusive Communities Everywhere Plus).
