IRONWOOD - This year's Festival Ironwood opened with a bang on Wednesday evening, drawing a huge and happy crowd to the Historic Ironwood Depot Park.

People gathered at long tables under the big top tent to enjoy hot sandwiches and beverages provided by the Ironwood/Hurley Rotary Club. Lake Effect band provided live music there.

Additional smaller tents were set up outside of the big top, with some people dancing next to outdoor tables.

Kids let off steam within a bounce house, and many folks just enjoyed the opportunity to visit with friends and family....
