Birch Grove Seniors are planning two 15-passenger mini-bus trips to the Keweenaw and Bayfield Peninsulas for Cook County seniors and guests. The trip costs $425 per person and includes bus transportation, five nights double occupancy lodging in lovely lakeside hotels, five Continental breakfasts, and a ticket for the Madeline Island Ferry. Lunches, dinners and sightseeing will be purchased by the travelers. Single or triple occupancy rates may be available.
The trip will take travelers from Tofte to Hancock, Michigan, on a tour of the Keweenaw Peninsula, to Ashland, Wisconsin, to Madeline Island via ferry, and to Bayfield. In Bayfield, travelers will visit orchards and wineries.
The late September trip is already filled up, and we have a good start on filling up another bus for September 14-19. There is a wait list for both trips. Call Patty at 370-2560 or bgf@boreal.org to reserve your trip or to ask questions.
We’ll be selling root beer floats at the Tofte 4th of July to help pay for extra costs of the trip.
Birch Grove Foundation and Senior Lunch Bunch will be operating an aide station at the Lutsen 99er bike race on June 28. The race starts and finishes at Lutsen Mountains.
