SUMMARY:Volunteer Op: Fishermen's Picnic at Bally's Blacksmith Shop 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2024 Grand Marais Fisherman’s Picnic on August 1-4\, 2024 in Downtown Grand Marais\, Minnesota. This is way more than just shore lunch! This Annual Fisherman’s Picnic is filled with fish burgers (those beloved deep fried herring fillets served on a bun) and lots of daily games\, activities and fun\, like the Crazy Days Sidewalk Sales\, Daily Contests and Prizes\, Live Music outdoors and Kids Activities. The Lions Club BIG raffle includes a grand prize of $10\,000 and lots of other great prizes for $5.00 a ticket. Get your collectible button\, it’s your pass to participate in events all weekend long. \nThe annual Grand Marais Fisherman’s Picnic turns this small North Shore community into a bustling\, fun-filled scene of families and folks of all ages. It’s both a celebration and observance of the past and the present – a coming together of the ‘locals’ who never forget how unique their North Shore hometown is. It’s also an event that draws visitors from all over back to Grand Marais each year to enjoy the event and town\, and the natural surrounding beauty. Bring an appetite too. The very popular fish burgers that are on sale during the Picnic even have a song written about them: “They’re all red ready and they’re all red hot. Pickle in the middle and the mustard on top.” Stay for the parade of local businesses and organizations on the last day of the Grand Marais Fisherman’s Picnic as it moves down Wisconsin Street. \n\n\nJoin Don Hammer at Bally’s Blacksmith Shop address:  100 Broadway Ave\, Grand Marais\, MN 55604\nHISTORIC COOK COUNTY\, PO BOX 1293\, GRAND MARAIS\, MN  55604  218-387-2883   HISTORY@BOREAL.ORG\n

SUMMARY:Volunteer Op: Tori Music Festival at Finland Heritage Center 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Finland MN Historical Society first celebrated Midsummer Days in June with a May Pole\, some music\, and a few vendors.  About 1997 a local resident\, Paul Deaner\, started the free Music Festival which brought great musicians from near and far for the next few years.  In 2006 the Historical Society board decided to combine the two festivals\, move it to August\, and rename it the “Tori Music Festival”. \nWhat would a music festival be without music?  We have an amazing lineup this year with local legend Charlie Parr. Joining him for the festival will be THUG (the ever popular Two Harbors Ukulele Group)\, singer/songwriter John Agacki with songs from his recent album release: “Songs of the Lakes and Seas” – a collection of sea chanties and songs of the Great Lakes\, and the acoustic duo Gene LaFond and Amy Grillo performing their original songs as well as unique renditions of some of their favorite artists from Dylan to dirt-old country. \nIn Finnish\, Tori means “open marketplace” so it has grown to include local artists\, merchants\, and demonstrations such as blacksmithing\, fiber arts\, basket making\, spoon carving\, candle making\, broom making\, and many others.  You can purchase items from many vendors including knives\, pottery\, candles\, apparel\, books\, cards\, jewelry\, woodworking\, photography\, hand woven rugs\, flowers and plants\, and even hand crafted jams and maple syrup.  The huge variety changes every year\, so come out and see what’s new. \nAs a fundraiser for the Historical Society our volunteers sell food including our famous herring burgers\, sloppy joes\, potato salad\, grilled hot dogs and brats\, grilled corn on the cob\, homemade desserts\, pop\, root beer floats\, popcorn\, and more. \nThere is a silent auction with over 30 items to bid on\, including overnight stays in local venues\, gift certificates from local merchants\, as well as dining certificates\, and handmade goods.  We also have a cash raffle consisting of over $1500 in prizes. \nNew in 2023 we introduced Duluth Goat Yoga. Indeed\, you can practice yoga with a certified instructor and small friendly goats. Strike a pose or just sit back\, cuddle some goats\, and take some selfies. Anything goes! Relax and recharge in our tranquil orchard with the sweet and funny goats. It’s a one of a kind experience that has found its way to the North Shore. \nWe have a guest blacksmith showing how things used to be made by hand in our fully functional blacksmith shop. The American Heritage Girls will be offering games\, crafts\, and a music experience for kids at our new Imagination Station. Throughout the day there will be demonstrations from artists\, park rangers\, and even make-and-take art experiences for adults. And of course all the buildings at the Heritage Site are open to explore including our ever evolving museum with panel photo displays and artifacts depicting the history of the Finland\, MN area. \nThe event is FREE and there is plenty of parking on site.  Come for the day and enjoy the local atmosphere and people of Finland\, MN both today and in the past.  Free will donations are accepted and appreciated.  Your donations go to help preserve this fine historical site for generations to come. Follow our Facebook page for details and updates throughout the summer. You can preview the music\, learn about the artists\, and have a sneak peak at our silent auction.
