BESSEMER BLAST 2009

For many people the high point of the Annual Fourth of July Bessemer Blast is the Fourth of July Parade. This year's celebration aimed to please the those parade lovers. There were many marchers and floats, as well as four bands to entertain everyone. The large crowd of spectators also got to enjoy classic cars and vehicles of every description  including fire trucks, motorcycles, farm tractors and even golf carts. The parade included State Representative Mike Lahti. There was a Fife and Drum corps that traveled all the way from Janesville Wisconsin to entertain the crowd gathered along Sophie and Mary Streets to watch the parade.

One of the highlights of the event was a fly over by F16 Fighter Jets from the Duluth Air National Guard.
