I haven’t lived on the North Shore very long, but it is very easy to get into the small town traditions. One of my favorites happened last night - the annual Christmas parade.
It’s not a big parade by any means. I would say this year there were only 8 floats, but it is so fun to see all the people that come out to watch. My family participated in the Arrowhead Electric float that included a large truck and a very large Christmas tree with lights. Steve’s son Tristan participated in the preschool float. Since Grand Marais doesn’t have a very long main street and there are not a lot of floats - sometimes we go around the block twice to make it worth everyone’s while. My husband and I commented that people who were dining from out of the local area may have thought we were crazy, but to us it is a lot of fun. – Kris
