Labor Day Weekend Events At Crossroads

Children explore what lives in the streams at Crossroads at Big Creek. Submitted.

Crossroads at Big Creek invites the community to visit the Hanson House to discuss the people who have labored there. If you or someone you know has worked or lived at what is now Big Creek Preserve, please share those memories. The tours with Labor Day reminiscences are taking place Sept. 1-3, 1-3:30 pm. Meet at the Hanson House, 2200 Utah St. in Sturgeon Bay.

On Sept. 4, 3 pm, Crossroads will host a hike at Ida Bay Preserve. Each participant will receive a map/brochure that tells the stories of the people who lived and labored there, and hikers may witness a butterfly and bird migration. Meet at the parking lot at 1195 Canal Road in Sturgeon Bay.

The Bird Club will meet Sept. 5, 6:30 pm. Migration will probably be underway, so weather permitting, the group will visit the Cove Estuary Preserve. Anyone who’s interested in birds is welcome to attend the free event and should take binoculars and a cell phone, if possible. Meet at the Collins Learning Center, 2041 Michigan St. in Sturgeon Bay.
