Summer was wonderful in Duluth and kept us hopping. The Inn was the busiest ever with folks flocking to Duluth to enjoy the beautiful weather by the shores of Lake Superior. Many events brought people here by the thousands: Grandma's Marathon, The Tall Ships (record-breaking crowds) and Blues Fest, to name a few. Fall is not to be missed either with the changing of the leaves (peaking up the North Shore and a week away in Duluth), the large hawk and migratory bird migration at Hawk Ridge and cultural events picking up again. The Duluth Superior Symphony just performed it's opening concert of the season featuring an incredible violinist performing the Paganini Concerto. Tchaikowsky's Fifth Symph. and Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man sounded amazing with the new shell now in it's second year. The crowd did not go away disapointed. For upcoming concerts check out their website at www.DSSO.com . We can help out with getting tickets.
Fall has also brought the biggest and best apples we've ever had from our old, mystery apple tree. After a full day of apple pie filling and applesauce making we had quite a bin full of apple cores and peelings. It was quite the attraction for our current resident large, well-fed black bear whom we've named "Yogi." He seems harmless but sure can make a mess!
That's all from the Good Life in Duluth.
