Return of the Walking Tours? Find Out More on Thursday, November 8th If you joined DPPA and member Sheldon Aubut last year for his one-day return of the famous Old Downtown Walking Tour, you'll know just how charming these tours were. You'll be acquainted with how they brought life to Duluth's history and to Duluth's Old Downtown district.... the kind of life that can also mean an increase in business for downtown merchants. On Thursday, November 8th Sheldon is inviting anyone who is interested to a meeting to discuss how these tours might be reinstated. Sheldon describes the tour's past and his future vision for them: "I had people from every state and virtually every country in the Americas as well as many Europeans and Asians. I would like to expand the reenactment parts of the tours, with more people and more characters, but the focus is history and historic preservation. Of course, entertainment is the vehicle. These tours were very successful and I hope they will be again." Does anyone have ideas for how to find funding for these tours? Bring this and other thoughts to the meeting: Date: Thursday, November 8th Place: Norshor Theater Time: 6 p.m. For more information about the Old Downtown Walking Tours project, contact Sheldon Aubut at biker@cwizard.com or 218-591-4136.
