For the last 78 years the men of the Sturgeon Bay United Methodist Church have been hosting the LUMBERJACK SUPPER. Originally known as the Cheeseman Lunch, the cooking was done on a wood stove and only about 65 meals were served. In the 1940’s a kitchen was added to the church and they were able to increase service to approximately 150 guests. Over the next 50 years the popularity of this event, now known as the LUMBERJACK SUPPER, grew until now the men are serving about 800 meals. They prepare, cook and serve all the food (except the pies and rolls) themselves.
