| December 4 | Paddling the Great Lakes Stephen Brede bought a canoe shortly after moving to northern Michigan in 1988. He joined a group that went paddling one night a week, discovering different lakes and streams. Stephen found that he totally relaxed and enjoyed the experience and in 2009 decided to set off on an adventure. He paddled out into and around Lake Huron, and now, nine years later, he will share his story about how he paddled around all five Great Lakes. |
