Shedding Cabin Fever |

 |
| Ironwood/Houghton - April 20, 2009 From Ironwood
to Houghton folks were leaving their cabin fever behind this past
weekend and taking off for spring shopping. In Ironwood, the
action was at the Pat O'Donnell Civic Center, where the Annual
Spring Craft Show took place. Vendors selling every kind of arts and
crafts imaginable were on hand at the Pat. The Spring craft show
like the Home Show prove how the Civic Center earns its keep in
Ironwood.

Home Show At The
Copper Country Mall |
 |
| At the Copper Country Mall in Houghton there were
plenty of shoppers out looking for items to improve their homes.
Many shoppers told us they would be fixing up and staying home for
the near future. Perhaps the national recession will be a plus to
local business men and women. |
