Gunflint Trail Association to celebrate 75th anniversary




Current and former Gunflint Trail business owners, families and staff are invited to join the 75-year anniversary celebration on Oct. 11 at Hungry Jack Lodge for a good old-fashioned party.

The Gunflint Trail Association is celebrating the event beginning with a social hour with cash bar at 5 p.m. followed by dinner ($25 per person, tax and gratuities included) at 6 p.m. A remembrance program will follow.

Organizers urge residents to renew friendships, tell Gunflint Trail Association stories, and reflect on the growth of the Gunflint Trail businesses and community.

Also needed are photos for the display. If you have any pictures reflecting your years on the Trail, put them on 8½ by 11-inch pages so they can be shown at the celebration and later placed in a scrapbook to be on display at the Chik-Wauk Museum. Contact Lee Zopff, 16 Crooked Pine Trail, or lzopff@gmail.com for more information.

Also on the agenda is a video from the 50th anniversary of the Gunflint Trail Association held at Clearwater Lodge in 1986.

To register for the 75th birthday celebration, contact Nancy Waver, Trout Lake Resort, at (218) 387-1330.
