Here's info to note if you're visiting during the winter! When you go to bed, move the car to the next day's correct side of the street based on even or odd date. Thanks!

Grand Marais is looking forward to having a beautiful new Highway 61 corridor! Just as soon as the construction phase is complete, which is going on now through October. ⁠
⁠
You can find out on my blog what they are actually doing (and it's good, necessary stuff). But my point is to tell you to make sure you don't miss the awesome places that are right in the midst of the construction area!⁠
⁠
There are safe and efficient walking paths to reach these businesses, but you may not even notice them because of the work being done! You will NOT want to miss these favorites: ⁠
⁠
🎇 Java Moose, Grand Marais MN
🎇 The Fisherman’s Daughter at Dockside Fish Market
🎇 Voyageur Brewing Company⁠
🎇 Dairy Queen ⁠
🎇 Visit Cook County MN ⁠
🎇 North House Folk School ⁠
🎇 Yellow Bird Fine Art ⁠
🎇 Hungry Hippie Tacos ⁠
🎇 Studio 21 (new from the Grand Marais Art Colony) ⁠
🎇 Bucks Hardware⁠
⁠
And let me tell you from a local and someone that runs around Grand Marais daily...it's really not that bad 😀. ⁠
⁠
There is no construction happening outside of Highway 61, so walking around the downtown harbor area is still very easy and scenic. So come on up and enjoy some Grand Marais time!! 🥰⁠

North House is excited to host two great gatherings to celebrate the year of great programming ahead, and to share a sneak peek of the upcoming course catalog.

Voyageur Brewing Company in Grand Marais on Feb 19th, from 5:30 - 8:30pm

Fulton Taproom in Minneapolis on Feb 24th from 6 - 9pm

North House staff will be on hand to answer questions and share stories, over a dozen instructors will be on hand to share about their course offerings, and a few more with their crafts for sale. Beer and beverages will be available for purchase.

We hope you'll be able to join us for this fun evening and that you'll make a few new crafty friends as we gather the community. You should also feel encouraged to invite a friend or two who has had a chance to experience North House yet.

RSVP for either at the link below, and your name will be added to the drawing for a $75 gift certificate towards a North House class! (must be present to win).
