North House Folk School

[Guest guest]

Greetings Foodies,

This may seem tangential, but keep reading.  A friend of mine and I are

traveling up to Grand Marais for the weekend of September 26th for the

Unplugged: The Northern Harvest event at the North House Folk School and have

room to take one or perhaps two more people.  If you don't know about the school

check out their web pages.  Okay, here is the connection: besides offering

classes in traditional arts and crafts (everything from fiber arts and music to

woodcarving and sustainable living) they have food classes - Home Brewing,

wood-fired baking, sausage making, Wild Rice Harvesting and the list goes on. 

This particular weekend, besides classes, there is a Fish Boil, Contra Dance and

big Folk Music concert.  We are planning to leave mid-morning Friday and return

mid-day Monday.  It is a long drive (5 hours) and would enjoy the company and

sharing gas expenses with like-minded people.  I may be just an overly trusting

person, but I feel more

comfortable offering ride-sharing to Trad food folks than to just anyone..  (At

first it occurred to me that wouldn't anyone that fits the " woodsy/artist type "

be safe?  Then I thought Ed Geen might have described himself that way.)  Anyway

if you are considering it, try to get lodging asap (this also happens to be the

big " peepers " weekend - people that drive up to the North Shore to look at the

fall colors.)

Shoot me an email if you are interested.  BTW, I use Yahoo only for Trad foods

and it has become the first thing I want to read, when checking all of my other

email sites.  Hope to meet many of you at the Warehouse Open House....you too,

Will.
