Our visit to Grand Marais coincided with their 79th annual Fisherman's Picnic, one of the oldest festivals in Minnesota. We had a ball! There was non-stop music, a rock skipping contest, log rolling contest, kids tractor pull, loon calling contest, etc, etc.
Logs were sawed off in a downward motion, then another cut was made going up. This was all done in a few seconds.Ever wonder how to log roll? Here's Jenny Atkinson, the 8-time log rolling and boom running world champion, telling you everything you need to know.
The WINs joined in, participating in the boat parade in their kayaks.
Barbara and I walked around the harbor to the lighthouse instead of kayaking. You can see how the harbor is half natural, half man-made.
One evening we all went to see the musical "How to Talk Minnesotan." I hadn't realized there was so much to know.
And of course we did our usual dancing,
Eating,
And we had a burn-your-own down by the harbor.
Max found a t-shirt for another festival that apparently goes on all summer.
You guys are still having too much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI see the WINs saved another parade from being boring.
Thanks for keeping me up-to-date on what is happening up there. Sounds like a blast.
ReplyDeleteI loved Max's shirt! That was a great festival.
