The North for the 4th T-shirt fundraiser started about 40 years ago, when the shirts were sold to raise funds for area environmental groups.
After those groups disbanded, the Tomahawk Downtown Business Council headed the fundraiser.
Today, Tomahawk Main Street organizes the shirt sale, which represents one of the organization’s largest annual fundraisers.
Over the years, the shirts have featured a variety of wildlife, including eagles, loons, deer, owls and frogs, along with themes revolving around Tomahawk traditions, such as the children’s frog jump and the Tomahawk Fire Department water fight.
This year, the shirts feature a star encompassed in a circle, both clad in an American flag design.
Tomahawk Main Street recommends purchasing shirts early, as supplies are limited.
