Winter Solstice Celebration Success

The annual winter solstice celebration held at and by North House Folk School and featuring the Good Harbor Hill Players, was a great success as usual. A shadow puppet extravaganza, it paid homage to the late Tom Eckles of Grand Marais commercial fishing fame.

It was a terrific evening for families and friends to celebrate the Solstice and the season and the special community that is uniquely Grand Marais. Untold numbers of gloomies were appropriately dispatched, clearing out 2006 and making way for a burden free 2007.

Thank you to all who contributed so much in time and talent to make this such a special place and season.
