Start planning your Lake Superior Day 2013 festivities.
This year Lake Superior Day is Sunday, July 21st. The Lake Superior Binational Forum encourages residents of the Lake Superior Basin and beyond, to celebrate their connection to the lake on this date or anytime during the month of July.
Visit our Lake Superior Day Homepage for ideas and free printable materials.
Last year almost 50 groups and communities participated in some way, including special events such as dragon boat races, beach clean ups, musical concerts, library displays, church services, and signed proclamations that designate the third Sunday in July as Lake Superior Day. Reply to this email to request free color postcards, posters, factsheets, and bookmarks to give to Lake Superior supporters at your event.
Clean water is a basic right and necessity for all life. If you live near Lake Superior, you are fortunate to be living near one of the world’s largest lakes. Every day, each of the 600,000 human residents of the Lake Superior basin use water from the lake for drinking, home use, industrial use, or recreation. The lake is also essential for countless fish, birds,animals, and plants.
We will promote your event or activity on our web calendar at no cost.
