Birkie Family Outdoor Center Groundbreaking

As you’ve heard or read by now, the Birkie is building a Family Outdoor Center to serve as the new trailhead at the Hwy. OO crossing. New Moon is honored to be able to contribute to the center in our own way with the New Moon Ski & Bike Wax & Repair Room, where skiers and bikers can get their gear in perfect condition before or after they head out on the trails.

Last Saturday, groundbreaking festivities were held at ‘OO’. Here are some of the photos of the ceremony as well as a news story from WDIO TV from Duluth Enjoy!
