The 0.3-mile parade over the Glen Lake Narrows Bridge on Labor Day Monday is the punctuation mark at the end of a sentence. The sentence is the high summer tourism season in Leelanau County, which wraps up this weekend. This year marks 30 years of bridge walks. This year’s bridge walk leaves from the north side of the Glen Lake narrows (M-22) on Monday, Sept. 1, at noon. As in past years, t-shirts and hot dogs will be available, and certificates will be presented on site. Inspired by the enthusiasm of longtime organizers Bill and Dotti Thompson, JoAnne Beare of the Empire Area Community Center has committed to carry on the tradition, which the Thompsons started in 1995.
