Jul 29 Monday
Ironwood based singer/songwriter Bill Jamerson will perform an hour-long musical tribute to the early ski jumpers of the Upper Peninsula at Pine Mountain Resort to adults and teens. Jamerson tells stories and performs original songs he wrote based on interviews with many ski jumping legends he interviewed 25 years ago in Marquette County. Most of the stories take place in the 1930’s and 1940’s and describe the ski jumping culture at its height when teenage boys traveled across the Midwest to compete at tournaments. Following the presentation, there will be a brief tour of the Pine Mountain Ski Jump by members of the Kiwanis Ski Club. Meet at the top of the Pine Mountain Ski Jump, (UP Veterans War Memorial and Park, Kramer Drive, Iron Mountain, MI.) No registration required. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.--The Dickinson County Library helps the community find its story. All programs are free of charge and you do not need to be a resident of Dickinson County or have a library card to attend.
