Moe the Moose - Poem by Kyotee Island Krew
I was floating down the Tahquamenon
One warm and summer day,
When I saw a monster slurping
Tea-colored water from the bay.

He slowly raised his head,
His antlers oh so wide.
I knew he saw me tremble
I searched out a place to hide.

When he let out this awful snorting
I got goosebumps to my toe,
Then I thought I heard him whisper,
"Hello kid, my name is Moe."
As I sat still and watched him,
I had no further fear.
He was quiet, polite and gentle,
But man, he was big for a deer!
 That is when I remembered
I was in the county they call Luce,
And standing proudly before me
Was their magnificent Moe the Moose!

A Memorable Day
In 2002, the House and the Senate declared that Newberry Michigan would be recognized as the Official Moose Capital of Michigan!

The Newberry Area Chamber of Commerce displays the Senate Resolution Number 259 and the House of Representatives resolution Number 572 with pride. Visitors and locals alike gathered their photos

and stories about their own personal encounters with area moose to the Chamber. It was a proud day for the Tahquamenon Area.
Most sightings do occur in the Tahquamenon State Park and north of Newberry. The area and terrain is a perfect setting for the lifestyle of the moose.
