The Plaid Tradition:

Celebrating the Mainstay of a Northern Wardrobe

The tradition of wearing plaid to a screening of North Country Opera: Live at The Ark began with its premier at the storied Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor.  Attendees were encouraged to wear plaid. They did and were rewarded with a chance to win an iconic Stormy Kromer® cap of their choice. 

Since then, screenings have become a wild array of plaid.  And thanks to our friends at Stormy Kromer's UP factory, someone at each screening has gone home with a gift certificate for a cap of their choice.

Stormy Kromer caps are legendary.  They've been made in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for over 100 years, and are beloved by generations of outdoors folks.
