Everyone keeps talking about these being the final days of summer. That, of course, means only one thing. The Donut Shop will be closing in Grand Marais. For the better part of 20 summers, a certain booth in the Donut Shop has been displaying photos of the Young Family on a vacation out west with their Donut Shop cups. The Badlands, Thermopolis Wyoming, the capital building in Pierre. The donut shop will close on Madeline’s birthday this year, and we’ll make it through the winter with the help of my new deep fryer.
