Other than the fireman’s pancake breakfast being cancelled on account the fireman being busy helping fight the many fires in the area, the rest of John Schroeder Days when off without a hitch. The Cross River Heritage Center gave tours all day long. There was plenty to see and do at North 61, from lunch to live music to lemonade. The walking tours, led by Skip Lamb and Deonn Cecik, were a fount of information for all.
Rachel Schamer from True Earth Yoga and Save the Boundary Waters came to spread the word.
Trevor McSpadden came all the way from St. Paul to bring his honky-tonk sounds to the parking lot of North 61.
Three Birch Grove Elementary students, Liam Gillespie, Owen Gillespie, and Griffin Wachowiak sold lemonade and raised $205 for the school.
