Join historian and author Jim Paquette on a visit to the camp sites of Negaunee’s very first miners, the ancient people who once quarried the local Ajibik quartzite deposits on the northeast end of the lake thousands of years ago. We will follow the timeworn footpath along the north lakeshore. It will be approximately a two-mile hike on uneven terrain and hills and is considered a moderate to difficult hike.  Pre-registration is required. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at www.marquettehistory.org $15.00 per person. Only 40 tickets are available for this event. Participants will meet at the Negaunee Lakeview

We end our season where all great stories begin: in the space between what is real and what we dare to dream. Our journey opens in distant villages and intimate corners of the world where art, legacy, and identity bloom against the odds. As the evening deepens, our lens shifts from the observational to the surreal. Tickets start at $20 for adults, Free for students 20 and under. https://emberlight.org/event/facts-and-fantasies/

Powerful Tools for Caregivers, a six-week workshop, designed for the non-professional, informal family caregiver, will be held on Thursdays, August 21 – September 25th, 1:00 – 2:30 pm at the Negaunee Senior Center, 410 Jackson Street, Negaunee. Research studies find high rates of depression and anxiety among caregivers and increased vulnerability to health problems. Caregivers frequently cite restriction of personal activities and social life as problems. In addition, caregivers often feel a lack of control over events and a sense of powerlessness which can have a significant negative impact on their physical and emotional health.
