SUMMARY:Marji Gesick
DESCRIPTION:Marquette County\, MI \nPhone: (906) 748-0034 \nDates: September 19\, 2025 – September 21\, 2025 \nDescribed by Jeremiah Bishop as “the hardest single-day mountain bike event in the country”. Marji Gesick has set the standard for ultra mountain bike events around the country. The event features some of the toughest and most iconic trail systems across Marquette County\, and brings the community together for one weekend every year. \nWe don’t think you can finish in less than 12-hours. Actually we have our doubts you can finish at all. Are you willing to sign the dotted line and take the Danny Hill Challenge? We have a course just itching to break ya. \nThe Marji Gesick Race will be September 19\, 20\, & 21\, 2025!

SUMMARY:Superior Shipwrecks Exhibit Opens at Beaumier Center
DESCRIPTION:The Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center at Northern Michigan University will open a new exhibition titled “Gales of November: Shipwrecks on Lake Superior” at noon on Friday\, Sept. 19\, in its gallery in Gries Hall. \nFrom the earliest days of sailing vessels on Lake Superior\, November has taken its toll on the maritime trade. This exhibit will look at some of the more famous and fascinating shipwrecks that led to either the disappearance of a vessel or its eventual destruction.   \nIn November\, large arctic air masses in Alaska and Canada begin to make their way southeast across the lakes\, while low-pressure systems from the Gulf of Mexico travel northward toward the lakes. When these systems collide over the Great Lakes\, it creates a very unstable weather pattern that can essentially turn into an inland hurricane. One nickname for these storms is the “Witch of November\,” characterized by gale-force winds\, massive waves and quick-changing weather patterns.  \nNovember will mark the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the “Edmund Fitzgerald” and the story of that tragedy will be chronicled in the exhibit. Other shipwrecks that will be featured include the “Algoma” (1885)\, “Bannockburn” (1902)\, “Lucerne” (1886)\, “Myron” (1919) and many others. Each section will feature images of these ships\, copies of weather maps from the day they sank\, and newspaper headlines of some of the storms that wrecked their havoc on Lake Superior shipping. There will also be several artifacts on display from various Lake Superior shipwrecks on loan from Isle Royale National Park. \nVisitors can also view a selection of drawings on display by the noted maritime artist Ed Pusick that feature his dramatic interpretations of various shipwrecks\, including the “Edmund Fitzgerald.” These drawings are on loan from the Fred Stonehouse collection at the Marquette Maritime Museum. Pusick (1927-2006) was a Navy veteran and architectural illustrator\, best known as the “Master of Disaster” for his detailed illustrations of Great Lakes shipwrecks. After a military accident disabled him\, he pursued his passion for drawing\, creating influential shipwreck art that was featured on the History Channel\, in museums and in books by historians such as Fred Stonehouse.  \nThe exhibition will be on display in the Beaumier Center’s gallery through Dec. 20 and is free and open to the public. The Beaumier Center is open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

SUMMARY:"1875: Peter White at St Paul's" 150th Anniversary Celebration Event
DESCRIPTION:St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Marquette will host “1875: Peter White at St. Paul’s” on Sunday September 21\, 2025 at 4:00 pm at the church at 201 East Ridge Street in Marquette.  The event is a celebration of the history of St. Paul’s during the 150th anniversary of our sanctuary building.  Jim Koski of Q107 radio and the Marquette Historical Society will host the event which features an appearance by “Peter White” himself to help narrate and explain his family’s history with St. Paul’s. \nJim Koski will present pictures of Marquette in 1875 and photos of St. Paul’s when the sanctuary was new.  He will also highlight photos of the church as it has evolved over the last 150 years. Chip Truscon will portray Peter White to help explain White’s history in the community and at St. Paul’s.  Music will be provided by Jan Brodersen\,  and a string trio featuring Janis Peterson\,  Inga Banitt\, andWendy Larson.  The event will conclude with a reception and Q&A session in the Morgan White Memorial chapel\, which contains the “Resurrection” window commissioned by Peter White from Tiffany of New York.   \n“It’s so wonderful to be able to shake hands with our 150 year old history by welcoming Jim Koski’s historic knowledge and Chip Truscon who will “play” Peter White back at St. Paul’s church. He and Jim Koski are well practiced in bringing our history to life\, just as our congregation looks forward to setting the foundation for the next 150 years\,”  noted Jim Edwards\, member of St. Paul’s congregation and coordinator of the 1875 Peter White at St. Paul’s event. \nAdmission will be free\, and donations will be accepted.  All donations will benefit St. Paul’s Building Restoration fund as the church seeks to match the grant it received from the National Fund for Sacred Places.   The NFSP grant will help St. Paul’s address urgent structural needs\, ensuring its continued role as a gathering place for worship\, outreach\, and community activities into the next 150 years.

SUMMARY:'Murmurations' Exhibit at NMU's DeVos Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan University’s DeVos Art Museum is hosting an exhibition titled “Murmurations” through Nov. 1\, with related events throughout September. The exhibit features a diverse collection of works by 30 artists\, who all participated in Nido (Italian for “nest”)\, an artist residency located in the small town of Monte Castello di Vibio\, nestled within the central hills of Italy. \nThis residency program\, facilitated by the Poor Farm Project in Little Wolf\, Wis.\, allowed artists to explore the social and historical landscape\, land resources\, and embedded narratives of Monte Castello di Vibio and the surrounding region. \nThe term “murmuration” refers to the movement of a flock of birds expanding into various patterns in the sky in order to protect themselves from predators\, establish community and exchange important information. Similarly\, this exhibition considers the ripples and reverberations of play\, research\, and exchange. Artworks highlight a wide range of topics and sensory approaches that distill\, echo\, reflect\, and respond to a shared place-based experience. \nIn addition to the exhibit\, DeVos will host unique events with multiple artists in September\, entailing talks\, performances\, art curation and an exhibition reception. The events are as follows: \nFriday\, Sept. 12: \nA performance by Misael Soto from noon to 5 p.m. In front of the Art and Design Building; \na panel talk with Nido Residency organizers at 6 p.m. in Art and Design 165; \nand a reception with performances by Mark Jeffery\, Heather Lyon and Kristin Mariani at 7 p.m. in the DeVos Art Museum. \nWednesday\, Sept. 24: \nVisiting Artist Talk with Leslie Baum\, 6 p.m\, Art and Design Room 165. \nThursday\, Sept. 25: \nPlein Air Painting-Parallel Play Experience with Leslie Baum\, 2 p.m. in the DeVos Art Museum. \n  \nThe DeVos Art Museum is open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and Friday-Saturday\, and noon to 8 p.m. Thursday. \nAdmission is free to the exhibit and all events. \n

SUMMARY:NMU Presents 'Into the Woods' Musical
DESCRIPTION:Northern Michigan University Theatre and Dance will present Into the Woods\, a fantasy musical by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine\, Sept 25-27 and Oct 2-4. This “darkly enchanting” production blends familiar fairy tale characters with profound themes of desire\, consequence and hope. \n“Into the Woods begins with characters everyone recognizes\, like Cinderella\, Jack and the Beanstalk and Little Red Riding Hood\, but Act II gets\, as most Sondheim pieces do\, much more mature and more personal\,” said director Paul Truckey. “Everybody goes into the woods at some point in their life\, and this show explores what happens when you do.” \nAlong with its emotional resonance\, Into the Woods delivers plenty of comedy. The pompous\, over-the-top princes are audience favorites\, and the intertwining plotlines keep the action fast-paced and surprising. Truckey said the show begins with a wish and ends with a wish\, reminding audiences of both the optimism and the risks that come with chasing dreams. He explained that this shift is what makes the piece so powerful. \n“The first act shows characters who are almost one-dimensional in their goals; they want something\, and they go after it\,” he said. “But the second act transforms them into three-dimensional figures. We see them wrestle with grief\, responsibility and how to move forward when life doesn’t turn out the way they imagined.” \nMore than three decades after its Broadway debut\, Into the Woods remains timely. Its message about community\, resilience and facing the unknown strikes a chord with modern audiences navigating their own challenges. The blend of humor\, tragedy and hope ensures that the story speaks to all ages\, offering both entertainment and reflection. \nThis production also highlights the strength and growth of NMU Theatre and Dance. The department welcomed 60 new freshmen this fall\, its largest incoming class to date\, which is a testament to its continued success and reputation. \n“The cast is full of seniors down to freshmen\,” said Truckey. “They have fabulous voices and are great actors; just incredible to work with all around. We’re doing incredible things here at the Forest Roberts Theatre. All the shows we put on are just terrific every year\, and we’re doing more of them. The quality of kids that we’re getting now in the BFA programs is just amazing\, and our audience support has always been absolutely tremendous.” \nShowtimes are 7:30 p.m.\, with a 1 p.m. sensory-friendly Theatre For All matinee Saturday\, Sept 27\, and an additional 1 p.m. regular matinee on Oct 4. Tickets are $25 for the general public; $22 for NMU employees\, seniors\, and military; $15 for youth; and $5 for NMU students. They can be purchased at nmu.universitytickets.com.

SUMMARY:Powerful Tools for Caregivers Workshop
DESCRIPTION: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.\nResearch 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. The Powerful Tools for Caregivers program will provide caregivers tools to help reduce stress and increase relaxation\, make tough decisions\, reduce guilt\, anger and depression\, communicate effectively\, set goals and problem solve\, and take better care of themselves while caring for a relative or friend. Caregivers will benefit from the workshop whether they are helping a parent\, spouse\, or friend living at home\, in long-term care or across the country. The workshop focuses on self-care for the caregiver\, not on specific diseases or hands-on caregiving.\nPowerful Tools for Caregivers is offered by Upper Peninsula Commission for Area Progress (UPCAP) in partnership with Lake Superior Life Care and Hospice. There is no charge for this workshop\, but registration is required. Class size is limited. Registration ends when the class is full or on August 8.\nTo register\, visit www.upcap.org (click on Events) or call 2-1-1 Monday through Friday\, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for assistance.\nPTC flyer w LSH in person 082125-092525
