The Good Harbor Hill Payers' goal is to bring our neighbors together in the magic of our seasons, the natural world and the history and lore of our home here on Lake Superior. Measurable outcomes include our continued ability to attract both citizen artists and audience members from diverse backgrounds and age groups. We evaluate the success of our endeavor by the numbers of participants in our workshops and the audience numbers we attract. We review videos of the performance for artistic merit and audience reaction.

Our 2016 Summer Solstice pageant was built by nearly sixty volunteer participants. These individuals and family groups attended our free puppet workshops, where we created the puppets, masks and costumes used in the performance. Almost all of these workshop volunteers attended rehearsal and performed in the pageant. Our theme this year was the natural phenomenon known as the vernal pool. Every day of the production included sharing information about the insects and wildlife found in vernal pools. The performance is available on YouTube. "Jeepers, Creepers, Peepers. Summer Solstice Pageant (2016)" filmed and posted by Patrick Knight.
