Help a small Yooper town! My friend Vicky works at the Animal Shelter in Iron River Michigan. If you have the chance and desire to vote I know she'd appreciate the help. :-)

Please take the time to do this. You can vote once every 24 hours. This is the school my stepbrother Eric teaches at. Thanks for the vote. Vicky.

Eric's school qualified for a grant for $10,000 for playground equipment from the NFL. He needs your vote. As of today they are in the lead. You can help this little Yooper town accomplish there goal. Please take a minute and go to
www.Kaboom.org/playday
Scroll down to ONTANOGOAN and vote. Much appreciated . The kids need this. Don't be afraid to forward this website.

27. My wife has family in Iron River, and I loved fishing in Brule Lake when I visited. |
|
It was in the Summer, of course. ;)
My wife's aunt was the Principal at a local school for a long time. Happy to help.

I work for the shelter in Iron River (we live in Milwaukee but love the people and the area enough that we go up there a couple times a year to deliver items for the shelter).
