Depot Park hosts soap-filled event

IRONWOOD - Bubbles flew through the air at Depot Park on Thursday during Carnegie Library's Bubbles and Lunch.

Children and the young at heart had a blast blowing bubbles, playing and even reading.

Assistant library director Lynne Wiercinski specifically choose three water-themed books to go with bubbles.

"I choose 'Smitten,' 'I Get Wet' and 'Rainbow Fish,'" she said. "Kids love bubbles. Everyone loves them."

After they were done playing, they chowed down free pizza, courtesy of the Ironwood Area School District's free lunch program.

As a federally-funded program, the program offers free lunches to all students in the area. All the students have to do is show up to be scheduled.
