Fundraiser For Moving "T-Bird" Bridge Panel at Beef-A-Rama

Miranda VanderLeest

The Friends of the T-Bird Bridge Committee will kick-off a fund raiser this weekend with the goal of relocating the front panel of the “T-Bird Country Bridge” to the front entrance of the Lakeland Union High School in Minocqua.

The historic bridge was recently removed and replaced by a modern 4 lane bridge spanning State Hwy 51. The bridge is a connection for the snowmobile and hiking / biking enthusiasts using the “Bearskin Trail” which was formerly a railroad route running from Tomahawk to Minocqua.

The group intends to totally refurbish the bridge panel and have it moved to the front entrance of Lakeland High School with the theme “Bridging Community With Education”. Fund raising activities will begin on Saturday in conjunction with Beef-A-Rama in Minocqua. The group will have a booth set up near Bassett Jewelers where they plan on selling items to raise money for the project.
