Main Street Calumet Window Display Contest Winners Announced:
Main Street Calumet’s Design Committee is pleased to announce the winners of the 2009 Summer window Display contest:

This summer’s display window theme is Keweenaw Music Traditions and aims to celebrate the roll music plays in our community life. Downtown businesses were invited to create a storefront window display that highlights an aspect of the Keweenaw’s musical heritage while incorporating goods or services offered for sale.
In Calumet’s Historic downtown district, we are fortunate to be surrounded by music: live music and open mic. nights featured at bars and cafés; prominent performers on the stage at the Calumet Theatre; piano lessons in the front parlor of the Norwegian Lutheran Church parsonage and this summer, a concert series at the Keweenaw Heritage Center at St. Anne’s.
Fourteen merchants participated in the window display contest.
Windows were judged on the following characteristics:
Connection to Theme (Keweenaw Music Traditions)
Originality and Creativity
Use of Space
Cleanliness of Displays and Windows
The windows were judged by a panel of Michigan Main Street Managers and volunteers from all over the state attending the Michigan Main Street Quarterly Conference held in downtown Calumet on June 16-17, 2009.

 NORWEGIAN LUTHERAN CHURCH
HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Calumet, Michigan
"Help Stop The Rot"
The First Norwegian Church of Calumet was constructed by the local contracting firm of Bajari-Ulseth in 1898-99 to serve an immigrant population from Norway attracted by work in the area’s copper mines.
The church design shows a strong Norwegian influence and is said to be a replica of a church in Kristiansund, Norway, birthplace of Ed Ulseth.
Since 2000 The Norwegian Lutheran Church Historical Society has been dedicated to maintaining, restoring, and facilitating future use of this very historic building.
Installed in the 1920’s, the current fiber cement roof has weathered many severe winters and urgently needs replacement. The proposed architectural grade composition shingle roof will closely approximate in look and color the original wood shingle roof from 1898. The $35,000 roof replacement price tag is an enormous sum for a small organization such as ours and it is quite plain that help from charitable donors is needed to meet the cost.
