On New Year’s Eve 2011, the North Shore Care Center was the place to be! The Care Center dining room was transformed into a radio studio for a fun night of music, reminiscing, and dancing on New Year’s Eve. Residents enjoyed ringing in the New Year with WTIP!

Remember When features original ‘40s and ‘50s music and for the New Year’s show, Care Center residents helped select the songs. Residents also provided commentary.

American Legion Post 413 collected food items at the Grand Marais Post in the days leading up to Christmas. On Monday, January 3, several large boxes of food were delivered to the Cook County Food Shelf by Post Commander Don Wilson, Vice-Commander Bob Mattson, and Legion Auxiliary President Edie Mattson. Another food drive is being held on January 15, along with a “Meet the Mayor” event at the Legion. Stop by the American Legion between 4:00 – 6:00 p.m., enjoy appetizers, drop off a nonperishable food item for the Cook County Food Shelf and meet new Mayor Larry “Bear” Carlson.

Local author Howard Sivertson was the first customer at the Grand Marais Public Library for the New Year. He is pictured here with Library Director Linda Chappell. When asked if he minded having his photo taken as the first library customer of 2011, Sivertson replied, “All I came in for was a book. I haven’t had this much attention in years!” Sivertson left with a book and a movie and assured the staff he would be back. The library had 56,108 visitors in 2010.
