Our Lumbering Legacy: A Gift from the White Lake Community Library
$11500.00 awarded on 11-15-2009
Major Grants
The library and several partnering organizations plan a multi-faceted lumbering legacy festival to coincide with the city's upcoming sesquicentennial. An illustrated history of the White Lake lumbering era will be created, historical lumbering art prints will be duplicated, local history experts will deliver keynote addresses, educational workshops, interpretive performances, historical dramatic interpretations, and an interactive lumberjack show featuring logging skills from the 1800s will all be incorporated into the festival. An existing booklet that features documentary paintings of the lumbering era will be reprinted and a reception will be held at the library. All events will occur in August 2010.
