The Cook County Visitors Bureau has announced a new event meant to draw visitors in the shoulder season and promote the dramatic late-fall weather as an attraction.
The event will be known as “The Lake Superior Storm Festival—a celebration of Lake Superior’s wild side” and will be held Nov. 7-10. Businesses are asked to host a StormFest event such as talks on topics like the Edmund Fitzgerald, North Shore shipwrecks, wreck diving, lighthouses, storm science, the White Hurricane, storm photography; author readings on relevant topics; live music; film screenings; art displays or exhibits; and even guided excursions such as a hike to a spot with a fantastic lake view or historical significance.
Interested business owners are asked to contact Shelby Gonzalez, CCVB marketing manager, at (218) 387-2788 for more information or to suggest ideas, offer assistance or volunteer.
