On September 18, the Full Circle Superior walkers will finish the last few miles of their trek around Lake Superior. All are welcome to join Mike Link and Kate Crowley as they walk the final mile of their journey by meeting at Leif Erikson Park at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. They’ll walk along the Lakewalk to Canal Park Lodge for an informal reception with refreshments. The reception begins at 2 p.m. and will include an outdoor tobacco ceremony.

Mike and Kate will complete their circle of Lake Superior the same weekend that the Lake Superior Circle Tour celebrates its 50th anniversary. It was on September 17, 1960 that the last leg of the Trans-Canada Highway opened in Wawa, Ontario, making it possible to circle Lake Superior by vehicle. A 50th anniversary celebration is planned in Wawa.

In a couple of weeks, veteran naturalists Mike Link & Kate Crowley will embark on an 1800+ mile walk around Lake Superior to promote both freshwater conservation and the benefits of physical activity for good health. Their journey begins on April 29.

In the meantime, you can help them raise funds for their journey by attending the Full Circle Superior fundraiser at the Great Lakes Aquarium on April 16 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Music will be provided by the North Shore acoustic duo the Sivertones, and wine and cheese will be available. Guests may bid on items at the silent auction and purchase Full Circle Superior t-shirts.

Mike and Kate will give a brief presentation about their upcoming journey, and will also have time to chat with those who attend the event.

Sponsors of the event include Bellisio’s, the Great Lakes Aquarium, and Lake Superior Magazine.

There will be no charge for parking in the aquarium lot for the event.
