Today was "media day" at Ironwood's Pat O'Donnell Civic
Center located on the beautiful campus of Gogebic Community
College. Did you know that the "Pat" is turning 25 in a few
weeks? Just one day before it's anniversary the future of
this important Ironwood asset goes before the voters.
The Center has been the home of The Polar Bear Hockey
Club as well as the Ice Crystals, the figure skating club.
The Civic Center is the host of the Ironwood Home show as
well as other trade shows. There are many events that take
place as well, like the sportsman show scheduled for late
summer. The current management and the Friends of the
Civic Center have been working successfully to bring more
year round events to the center.
