The Fisherman’s Picnic kicks off on Wednesday, July 31 with the fabulous Grand Marais Lioness fishcake dinner. There are fishcakes of course, but also delicious side dishes and desserts! The Lioness Club works really hard in preparation for and during the Wednesday night buffet, but they make it look easy—and fun. Pausing for a photo in the kitchen at the 2011 event were (L-R) Lou Goodell, Bev Denyes, Mary McElevey, Barbara Erickson and Arlene Jurek.
The Annual Grand Marais Lioness Buffet is just around the corner, from 5 – 6:30 p.m. on July 31 at St. John’s Catholic Church at 10 East Fifth Street, Grand Marais.
Everyone looks forward to this Fisherman’s Picnic tradition where the best cooks in the land bring together fishcakes, ham, potato salad, baked beans, and more.
Michelle Korst is heading this all-star group with its “many hands making the work lighter” attitude. Come hungry!
The Grand Marais Lioness Buffet Dinner is a fundraiser to support many of the wonderful activities the Lioness Club does for our community, like scholarships and charitable projects.
Cost of the buffet for adults is $15 and children under 12 years, $7.
There will be a silent auction as well. Sally Hennessy is the “go-to-person” for donations and purchases. Items can be dropped off the night before at the lower level of the church from 5-7 p.m. There will be art, cabin items, pontoon boat rides, baked goods and many other treasures. The bidding starts prior to the dinner at 5 p.m.
Hennessy said, “The Lioness Club thanks all those who give so generously of their time, talents and auction items. A true community effort!”
