“A Winter Dweller’s Celebration” is reminiscent of the French fur-trading days of Old Michigan, when the hardy voyageurs wintered in settlements telling stories, singing songs, and dancing. Bring a smile, hoot and holler, or just clap along. There’s something for everyone … and don’t forget yer dancin’ shoes!

Genot “Winter Elk” Picor has performed throughout Michigan from Bedford to Ironwood and from Niles to Sault Ste. Marie as a storyteller, musician, and folklorist. He is a listed performer in the Touring Directory of the Michigan Arts and Humanities Council.
