Grand Opening Event Highlights
Thanks to everyone who came out to Stone Harbor’s Grand Opening last weekend! We had a great time with special events and discounts throughout the store. We’re proud to say that a portion of our sales also went to support two great local organizations, Kids Plus and the Cook County Schools Booster Club. We also gave the following items away to these lucky winners:
- Wintergreen Jacket: Anne Hegg
- Half Day Kayak Trip: Casey Schaeppi
- Half Day Kayak Trip: Rochelle Ninefeldt
- Go Lite Lumbar Water Pack (Female): Debby Molano
- Go Lite Lumbar Water Pack (Male): Luke Heine
- Go Lite Hat: Mike Wedeking, Jason LaFavor, Wally Erikson, Sue Burk, Rick Schubert, Genevieve Olive, Curtis Larson, Nathan Sheils, Jeffrey Keil, Ali Schaefer, Barb Seipp, Nickie Imangul
We also enjoyed a delicious, winning one-pot cookoff dish from Kait & Anne Redborg. They made us Smoked Trout Ravioli with a Marscapone Cream Sauce – believe it or not, they DO actually cook like that on the trail. The meal incorporated all fresh ingredients, including handmade pasta. All materials used were BWCA approved, down to the white wine in Nalgene bottles, which was used in the sauce and to drink with the meal. They even toasted the bread and garnished it all with fresh parsley. Delicious! We hope to have the recipe from them soon, so we can share it with you!
If you weren’t able to make it out for the Grand Opening, we do hope to see you soon! In the meantime, here’s a little photo tour to tide you over until your next visit.
A view into the store from the front door.
To the left, we have men's clothing.
And to the right, clothing for women and kids, plus some kids toys/gifts.
Toward the back is a shoe section, as well as an area filled with gorgeous canoes and kayaks.
And to the right is maps and fishing gear.
Including kick boats, rods, sunglasses - and a whole heckuva lot of hand tied flies.
There is a cozy nook in the back with a fireplace, sofa, and unique local gifts and artwork.
Here's a better look at some of the shoes, from the steps up to the mezzanine.
In the mezzanine, we keep a wide variety of camping gear.
Including tents, sleeping bags, bear barrels, and much more - perfect for your trip into the BWCA!
Hope you enjoyed that little photo tour! Come and see us soon – right now we’re having great end-of-season specials on our summertime gear, so we can make space for the winter stuff. In a few months, we’ll be all about snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, ice climbing, winter camping and more. Fall will be here before you know it, so if you want to kayak, canoe, climb or fish, make your plans today!
