Winterer’s Gathering in Grand Marais

     Have you visited the North House Folk School in Grand Marais, Minnesota? If not then take the opportunity to visit during the Winterer’s Gathering and Arctic Film Festival coming this November 15-18th. I’ve only taken classes with the kids during their school trips but I’d love to take more when I have more time. 

     There are lots of activities happening during the weekend including a chili feed and gear swap. There are over 13 classes offered and some still have room for more registrants. You can check out their website for more information. And of course, you are welcome to stay at Voyageur!
