October at Deep Portage

The north woods fairly sings in October, does it not? A freshening of the air, fall colors at their peak, the first dusting of snow, southward bird migration in full swing; truly a great time of year. The past few weeks have been very active at Deep Portage. We hosted our Board of Trustees Annual Meeting on the 10th, and officially dedicated our new wood gasification heating system. 10 schools from around the state have visited thus far in October. Groups from as far away as the Twin Cities and Lake of the Woods, and as close as Longville-Remer and Pine River. Upcoming weekend programs include "sight in your rifle" on the 24th, and our second annual Halloween Concert Series event on the 31st. This year the music will be provided by bluegrass legend Dick Kimmel, accompanied by the vocalist Jerilyn Kjellberg. Call Deep Portage for tickets and info. Happy Autumn!
