Jack Deo and Jim Koski will share "Legends and Lore II - Even More Legendary,” more stories of amazing individuals and historical quirks from throughout Marquette County's 170+ year history. From community-defining moments to the people who built the U.P. to moments that may make you go "I remember that!," the show will bring to light some forgotten aspects of local history with pictures, facts, and a good deal of laughs.
This fundraiser will be held on Thursday, January 23, 2025, at 7:00 pm at Kaufman Auditorium. Tickets are on sale now, and they make great gifts. All tickets are general seating this year. $20.00 if you buy tickets in advance. Purchase tickets at marquettehistory.org, or in person at the History Center. They will increase by $5 at the door or by phone.
