Join the Lady Slipper Scenic Byway organization for Community Spotlight. Spotlight Nights enable local organizations and clubs to partner with Bemidji Brewing in a fun and informal setting, while bringing awareness to their mission, goals, and upcoming events all while enjoying a brew!
The Lady Slipper Scenic Byway organization was established to rescue the numerous colonies of Minnesota’s state flower, the showy lady from road construction the length of HWY 39. Through support from a variety of grants, local community participation, festival fundraising, ongoing monitoring of the area we have been successful in the preservation of the natural habitat, the transplanting of the lady slippers and have been supported in the establishment of two interpretive sites by the Chippewa National Forest.
