In Memoriam
1947-2011

Ellen Witteborg
Activist, Dreamer, Friend,
Steel Bridge Core Volunteer...
Thank you Ellen, for your unstoppable spirit
and the unending hours of hard work you gave freely,
helping to make our little corner of the world a better place!

Many thanks to everyone
who helped make SteelBridge2011
such a great success!!!

SteelBridge2012
is coming
June 7-10
(Please mark calendars!)

We started as a grassroots group called the S.O.B.'s (Save Our Bridge) about 11 years ago, organized to save the historic Michigan Street Bridge from the scheduled wrecking ball. Around 2005, we grew into Citizens for Our Bridge, Inc, a 501(c)3 non-profit. To build public appreciation for the historic structure, we hold a week-long celebration every June at The Holiday Music Motel. Hundreds of songwriters from around the world, including Jackson Browne, Jane Wiedlin (The Go-Go's), James McMurtry, and others have come to this community, written their songs, and dedicated their efforts. A six-disc collection of original songs (Steel Bridge Songs, Vols.1-6) honors the spirit of our bridge and her magnificent presence. Steel Bridge SongsVol.7 will be released during SteelBridge2012.
Since 2007, thanks to assistance from the National Trust For Historic Preservation and funds raised through Steel Bridge Songfest, Sturgeon Bay's Michigan Street Bridge has been protected as a national treasure, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Her 80th birthday was celebrated last summer with completion of the long awaited rehab, including an all-new coat of paint!

"This festival brings it all together...
tremendous musical talent, the creative process, social commitment,
historic vision and, most of all, a real organic and comfortable vibe.
I'm honored to be part of it because I love that old bridge
and I love what the organizers and supporters are doing to save it.
And making it happen with all that great music is just too cool."
- Len Nelson, 105.7 WAPL
