BREITUNG TWP- The annual Old Settlers Reunion and Picnic will be held on Saturday, July 15, with booyah dished up at 12 noon sharp.
Memberships are available the day of the picnic, and newcomers are encouraged to attend! Membership in Old Settlers is open to anyone born or living on the Vermilion Iron Range. The money raised through memberships pays the expenses of putting on the annual picnic. If you have never tasted Old Settlers booyah (meat and vegetable soup prepared from the same recipe year after year), you are in for a treat. The meal is cooked overnight over wood fire in 100-year old iron kettles, and it always tastes amazing.
But if you don’t qualify for “membership,” guests are also welcome to purchase a $10 ticket to attend the event.
Attendees need to bring a pot to hold their portions of the boiling hot booyah, along with their own dinnerware and other picnic fixings to go along with the meal. Bread, butter, and coffe are available with the booyah. Cold beverages can be purchased at the campground store.
Take-outs are also available if you are unable to stay for the picnic, live music, and raffles. Steve Solkela and his ever-popular one-man-band will be performing.
