								| Labor Day 2008 - Ontonagon | 
							
							
								| One day after a devastating fire, moms, 
								dads, kids and pets march a slightly revised 
								parade route in downtown Ontonagon. The normal 
								Hank Thompson Kiddie Parade  was rerouted 
								due the closing of the original route  to 
								accommodate the County Prosecutor. | 
							
							
								
								  | 
							
							
								| There were several parade floats dedicated 
								to the firemen who just one day prior fought the 
								fire that seriously threatened the entire 
								downtown. | 
							
							
								
								  | 
							
							
								| above and below  - not everyone was 
								excited by the festivities |
