Cloudy with a 100 Percent Chance of Fish
Whew!
This week LSM hosted the Taste of Lake Superior Fish Classic at Glensheen in Duluth. After months of planning, the sold-out cook-off and tasting event was a decided success.
We feared that showers might spoil the fun, but the rain never arrived. Instead, attendees enjoyed a delightful fall evening and the bounty of the Big Lake.
