This is from Dennis Hoelscher:
“DRC Boat House, Soon a Memory!”
“The subject is the Duluth Rowing Club boat house. It is scheduled for demolition in 2016. If you have not seen it the structure is an older ramshackle building, but has character, charm, and history.”

Hi Neighbors,
Here is the newest information about where to take your trimmings/trees on Park Point. Do not take any brush or trees off of Park Point. See info. below:
Tree parts and brush drop off site will be temporarily closed and reevaluated for a new regular schedule in March, when people typically start tree cutting and spring prep
– Park Point residents will still have access to the site by request to Dale Sellner at 730-4303 as no wood parts can leave the Point.
– No members of the public are allowed to use this site for trash drop off or to drop off tree parts from other areas of the city.
– This temporary closure would be effective January 11, 2016 with a new schedule to be determined in early spring.

You can also access zapplication from our website http://www.parkpointartfair.org/artist-information/how-to-apply/ where you can learn more about the event.
In its 46th year the art fair is well established, well organized and well liked by area artists for its ease of set-up, hospitality and consistent sales. Each year The Park Point Art Fair draws over 10,000 visitors to Park Point, a beautiful natural setting tucked between the lake and the bay, where they can buy art from our region’s finest artists.
Artists are treated to an awards dinner Saturday evening where the community recognizes their excellence with cash prizes of over $1300.00 In addition to great hospitality, we know that half our attendees are going to purchase art and that we succeed in attracting art buyers in higher income brackets who return year after year drawn by the quality and variety of the work. Our attendees especially enjoy getting to know the artists through conversation and repeat visits. This is the Duluth art fair you do not want to miss, at the start of our tourist season, when little competes with this much anticipated event. You are more likely to succeed here and have a good time while you are at it.

By Dawn Buck on Dec 19, 2015 | In Uncategorized | Comments Off on Park Point Brush/Branches/Trees Must Stay on Park Point: Where to bring trimmings?
- See updated post, this info on where and when to drop off changed on Jan. 11, 2016
- The Emerald Ash Borer has been found on Park Point- all trees, branches, wood and brush should stay on Park Point!
- The City will be running a brush drop off site on Park Point, in the parking lot near the beach house, strictly for residents on the Point trimming or cutting back trees.
- The City will accept all types of brush at this site and will open the drop off site next Tuesday, December 22, and run it every Tuesday, from 3:00-6:30 PM, which may be adjusted based on the need of residents.
- This drop off is designated specifically for brush from within the Park Point area.
- The City urges people to not bring in brush from other areas of the city and encourages the public, outside the quarantine area, to use the compost site at the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District, http://wlssd.com/services/yard-waste/
- Link to press release http://duluthmn.gov/web-subscriptions/View-press-release/?prid=3942
Park Point residents are prohibited from removing any wood or wood parts off of the Point hence the need to contain wood products within the quarantined area.
- The MDA has extensive information for residents and a specially created hotline to pose questions or concerns about EAB. People can call Arrest the Pest, at 888-545-6684. The following web page was created with multiple resources available to the public. http://www.duluthmn.gov/parks/emerald-ash-borer/
