Norseman Festival is Here!

Summer has hit and we have been super busy with the start of the tourist season. I'm sure many locals have noticed the floatplanes buzzing and our highway picking up in traffic!  We have begun planning for our 2016 Highway 105 Adventure Guide & Map as well as started the process to put up some new Highway Signage!  (More information will be released soon!)

Another project we've been busy with is the Norseman Festival!   The Red Lake Publicity Board lost a very influential board member recently, Ron Robinson, and one of his passions was Red Lake's Heritage and the long-time running Norseman Festival.  In his honour, the Publicity Board has joined the Norseman Festival in planning a great Festival for all to enjoy starting THIS WEEKEND!
