Colorama in Boulder Junction

Fall has come to the Northwoods. Things are quieter, more peaceful, and we sit back to enjoy the moments of bittersweet warmth and sun before the coming winter.

Colorama is upon us. Historically, Colorama is marked in Boulder Junction with the grand tradition of Colorama Dinner. Once a wild game feed with game buffet tables groaning under the weight of many donated prizes, we are now a softer, gentler meal, served by North Lakeland students and parents as has been a tradition for many years.

Colorama is also marked by our last outdoor craft and farmers market event of the year and the weekend promises to be delightfully warm and sunny.

The Community Foundation of Boulder Junction wishes you and yours a very enjoyable season of leaves, rides to see the color, pumpkin spice and one last hike.

May that hike be commemorated with a famous poem that lies in the heart of every northerner:

THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED, BY ROBERT FROST

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
