Icelandite Coastal Fen and Fun
2019-01-18 13:00 - 17:00
Voyageur Brewing Company loves to showcase the wonder and beauty in Cook County. State Parks, National Forests and other historical sites get most of the fame in Minnesota but just as important and sometimes even more special are SNA’s, or Scientific and Natural Areas. Some places don’t hold the distinguishing name of a SNA but are equally interesting and we invite you to explore a place nearby that is deserving of recognition.
Meet at the Grand Marais Public Parking lot in front of the Cook County Coop at 1:00pm to carpool to the location. Or meet at the location itself near mile marker 121 at 1:30pm. Be sure to dress warm because all time will be spent outside and there will surely be a cool breeze off of Lake Superior. All participants will receive a token for a free 9-ounce pour at Voyageur Brewing Company where conversation and learning can continue.
Icelandite Coastal Fen

Maybe you’ve heard of them, maybe you haven’t. Find out more about SNA’s on the MN DNR website.
Scientific and Natural Areas are exceptional places where native plants and animals flourish; where rare species are protected; and where we can know, and study, Minnesota’s fascinating natural features.
They protect natural features of exceptional scientific or educational value including:
native plant communities,
populations of rare species,
and geological features.
They may also contain:
successional processes,
relict flora or fauna,
natural formations,
fossil evidence,
habitat for concentrations of animals,
or vantage points for observing migration routes or other animal concentrations.
Examples include:
World-class peatlands in northern Minnesota,
native prairie remnants in western and souther Minnesota,
unique shorelines along Lake Superior, and
the blufflands of the southeastern Minnesota.
Protection of multiple sites in each landscape region is a vital means of capturing the genetic diversity and preventing the loss of important species, communities, and features. This strategy observes the wisdom of not putting all our eggs in one basket.
Characteristics that distinguish Natural Areas include:
Undisturbed plant communities, such as prairie or peatlands
Rare or endangered species habitat, such as the sunny rock outcrops needed for the “uncommon” five-lined skink
Seasonal habitat for bird or animal concentrations, such as herons, egrets and the endangered piping plover
Natural geologic formations and features, such as eskers and rock outcrops
Plant communities undergoing succession as a result of natural processes, such as old-growth forests

Live Music: Matt Griswold
2019-01-25 16:00 - 19:00
Enjoy craft beer and live music at Voyageur Brewing Company in Grand Marais, Minnesota.
Minnesota based Folk-Rock singer/songwriter and active musicologist, Matthew Griswold, is currently playing hundreds of his modern day minstrel-like shows each year. Though a “solo” performer in trade title, he carries a chorus of layered guitars and an array of dynamic vocal themes. Those elements are all then supported by a boot strapped foot stomping on a cigar box foot drum keeping a sacred element to the music.
Griswold’s performances are rugged, haunting, howling, bone-shaking affairs where all of the grit and soul of a man who has seen the war torn battlefields of Iraq, yet still sought hope after the worst of it’s tragedies, are brought forth through one voice and one guitar. He confidently leaves his crowds cradled in subtleties, but rocked with an undeniable presence. Those who witness him live, will experience a musician who inhabits, and is inhabited by, his music as if it were a spiritual transformation allowing him to become a fearless poet calling out through a cadence and dancing in the dragon’s den.
He has crafted an arrangement style of his own (“Hypno-tonic Grooves”), which he employs to reinvent classics, adapt traditional standards, and plug original work that stand in tribute to their deep lineage. With a well-honed talent, ego-less work ethic, and applied insights of ethnomusicology tilting the odds in his favor, Griswold has become one of the country’s most active independent working musicians. He has over ten years of strategic millage marked by thousands of live performances and hundreds of intriguing press features. Just barely in his 30s, he continues to build a dense catalog of works to be preserved by those he proudly refers to as “Witnesses of a Fellowship”.
Griswold has gained both industry notoriety and scholar respect as a Contemporary Folk music maker, and while having had many of his original songs and compositions used in various films, TV shows and commercials around the world through an elite contract with Universal Music Publishing, no matter where you find footing, you’re never far from someone who has likely been spellbound by the sounds that flow beside the howling edge of his hopeful hymns.
