Community Calendar

Join us for June’s “The Sanctuary Presents,” featuring Great Lakes Lore Maritime Museum Director Mike Horn as he recaps the beginnings, new location, and continued growth of this Rogers City museum. As a retired Captain on the Great Lakes and ocean, he can also speak to the unique hazards which often manifest on the Lakes during the late season storms.

“The Sanctuary Presents” is a monthly community outreach event hosted by Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. They are free, educational, and a great way to get into your sanctuary.

The 2^nd annual Long Lake Farmers Market will kick off on June 4^th and run every Thursday through October 1^st from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm.
