These are not in any particular order. They were all great fun.
1. Class Reunions-Every year many classes from Sault Area High School hold reunions in the Sault drawing classmates from all over the country. This year was my 40th reunion (1968-best class ever!) and we had a great time renewing old friendships, finding classmates who live close to us and just having fun.
2. Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Service My husband and I attended the service to commemorate the sinking of the Fitz in 1975. It was very moving. You can read an account of this at Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Service.
3. LSSU Fish Hatchery Visit-Taking my grandchildren to visit on the Open House Day during Engineer’s Day wasn’t enough for our family. My son called the manager of the hatchery and set up a personal tour for our family. A LSSU student explained the process they use to raise salmon and release them in the St. Marys River. My son and his family are still talking about it.
4. Engineer’s Day at the Locks- The last Friday in June is always open house at the Locks. This free event is great fun for boat enthusiast because you get an up-close look at how the Locks work.
5. EUP Learning Center Grand Opening & Reading Club-The Brimley-based business opened a Sault location this past summer. I also read a favorite book to their reading club. There is nothing I like better than reading and sharing with other people who like to read.
6. Professional Walleye Tournament-What I liked about the tournament was the evening the fishing teams brought their boats onto Ashmun Street. They then stood around and talked about fishing. Their passion for fishing was evident and made this so enjoyable.
7. Chippewa County Fair-I love going to the fair for the food, the friends we always see, and watching the Bell’s Belgium & Clydesdale horses.
8. Summer Concert in the Park-The weekly free concerts at the Locks Park qualify as ‘the perfect summer evening.” Can’t beat this for relaxing and seeing friends from town.
9. Susan & David-Susan Askwith and Dave Stanaway perform at the John Johnston house every Tuesday and Thursday during the summer. Being in the Johnston’s house while hearing their great music is an experience I repeat several times every summer, especially whenever we have out-of-town guests.
10. Blizzard of Jan. 29-I was scheduled to leave after a winter visit and that had to be delayed because of the weather. It was great fun spending the time with my parents but I struggled with being completely cut off with my Internet world.
