What makes our lake “Superior?” A contest on that theme, along with displays, music, local food tasting, birthday cake and lemonade are all part of the fun planned for the Lake Superior Day celebration at the Great Lakes Research Center from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 23.
Sponsored by the Lake Superior Stewardship Initiative in honor of its 5th anniversary, Lake Superior Day will feature two performances by Joe Reilly, an Ann Arbor singer-songwriter who is making a special stop on his Upper Peninsula tour.
Isle Royale National Park, Students for Sustainability and Keweenaw Land Trust’s Hungarian Falls Project will have displays, and tastes of local foods will be provided by Algomah Acres Honey Farm, Wood’n Spoon, Organic Heirloom Plants, G and A Farmers Market & Garden, Hidden Acres Farm, Good Bread, Gierke Blueberry Farm and Cafe Rosetta.
Tours of the GLRC and its aquaponics lab will be offered.
Lake Superior Day is free and open to the campus and community.
