St. Louis River Alliance hold ‘River Appreciation’ party

DULUTH, Minn. — The St. Louis River Alliance set up shop at Clyde Iron Works for a “River Appreciation” party.

The party was free and open to the public, with cake served to the attendees before a presentation, recapping the organization’s 2025.

A focus of the event and others like it for the alliance is the organization’s ongoing “Membership Drive,” as the alliance looks to add more folks who want what’s best for the waterways.

“People mostly just want to come and help us, and they want to come and attend our events, and we try to do fun stuff to educate people about what’s happening on the river and how they can get involved and become stewards,” said the alliance’s Executive Director Kris Eilers.

The membership drive will run until New Year’s Eve, with every member being entered to a win a kayak in early Jan.
