Dancing in the streets to candy at your feet. Lumberjack Days and the 4th of July festivities in Baraga County had something for everyone. The twoday extravaganza began Wednesday and ended Thursday night with a bang. Superior Avenue was closed both days for the protection of participants and parade goers. Festive banners hung above Superior Avenue providing a patriotic backdrop to the ever-changing clouds. Overcast skies before the parade started didn’t deter people from enjoying the day. The sun broke through just before the parade began and the crowd settled in for a patriotic afternoon. Nicole Ross held her granddaughter Adley Mattson. The baby was decked from top to bottom in red, white
and blue. Ross and Adley were celebrating the day together. “It’s her first 4th of July and she’s enjoying it so much.” Ross stated. Adley just smiled. One-year olds don’t say much. To read more, subscribe to the L’Anse Sentinel online, or buy a print copy at our local retailers.
