SUMMARY:Marquette July 4th Parade sponsored by Kiwanis
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Marquette July 4th Parade is special since we celebrate our Nation’s 250th Birthday. \nThe theme for the Parade is One Nation Indivisible – 250 Years. \nParade start time: 2pm at McClellan and Washington. \nAttendees should plan to arrive at 1:15 pm or earlier as the nearby streets are closed then. Parade Float Line up time: 1pm. Attached please find the Staging Area Map and Parade Route. \nTo apply for entering a float or car go online to https://bit.ly/KiwanisMQTParadeApplication or our website marquettefourth.com. We still need 10 more volunteer crossing guards to keep children safe. Apply to Brian or Robert listed below. \nThose with mobility issues are invited to park at the Nicolet Bank parking lot on Lincoln and Washington but need to arrive no later than 1:15pm\, otherwise roads will be blocked. \nKiwanis plans to have 80 floats in the Parade. This is the 31st year that the Marquette Kiwanis Club has sponsored the Parade with the City of Marquette. \nMilitary Veterans will lead the parade along with Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty. \nThis year’s Parade Marshall is Peggy and Peter Frazier who are honored for their extensive community service for Lake Superior Theater. City Mayor Paul Schloegel\, NMU President Chris Olsen and Veteran of the Year\, Mike Tarr\, a local Vet\, will also ride in convertibles. \nWe have a special opportunity to fight hunger: bring canned goods to donate to a Salvation Army float. \nThis year we will have 5 bands and 16 youth floats\, such as the Scottish Pipes and Drums\, High School Band and Dance Team\, NMU Pep Band and the Ahmed Clowns on bikes.  \nThe Press is invited to interview and take a picture of the Parade Marshall and other VIPs at 1:30pm at Washington & McClellan in front of Incredible Bank.  \nWe especially want to thank our financial sponsors who generously covered the cost of the Parade: Travel Marquette\, Marquette Rotary\, First Bank\, Northern Michigan University\, Ojibwa Casino and Nheena Ittner and Neil Cumberlege.   \nWe also want to thank our 65 amazing Kiwanis volunteers and 20 NMU Police Cadets who will be crossing guards. \nThank you for helping celebrate our Nation’s 250 birthday.

SUMMARY:Beaumier Center Highlights Mary Jayne Hallifax's Photography
DESCRIPTION:exhibition opens July 9 and will be on display through Oct. 3 \nThe Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center \nThe Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center at NMU will open a new exhibition July 9 that features the work of one of the U.P.’s most prolific photographers. It is titled “Munising in Black & White: The Photographs of Mary Jayne Hallifax.” She was an in-demand commercial photographer who also captured numerous candid images of her hometown over seven decades. \nHallifax died in 2025 at the age of 96 and donated many of her original negatives to photograph collector Jack Deo\, who is loaning 60 images to the Beaumier Center for the exhibit. They represent a tiny fragment of her catalog and focus specifically on the 1950s and 1960s\, depicting community events\, street scenes\, school activities and the lives of people in the community.  \nA lifelong Munising resident\, Mary Jayne (Shampine) Hallifax was a 1946 graduate of W.G. Mather High School. While working on the school’s yearbook\, she was asked by the school secretary to take\, help develop and print photographs\, and from that her lifelong love with photography began. \nAfter she graduated and started working\, Mary Jayne spent her nights taking photos and developing them. It became such a passion that she gave up her job at People’s State Bank to pursue photography full time. She soon became Munising’s most in demand commercial photographer\, especially for weddings and senior photos. However\, she also loved just wandering the streets of Munising taking candid photos of people and the general “goings-on” in the community. She even took photos for the Michigan State Police crime lab. \nIn 1948\, Mary Jayne married Richard Hallifax\, and the pair worked on photography together. He did much of the film developing and press work\, while she focused on making prints\, and her portraiture studio work with families\, wedding parties and graduating students. During her career with newspaper work and even into retirement\, she photographed seven Michigan governors on their trips to Munising: G. Mennen “Soapy” Williams\, John Swainson\, George Romney\, William Milliken\, James Blanchard\, John Engler and Rick Snyder.  \nUp until her 95th birthday\, she had a weekly column “All About Town with Mary Jayne” or “Down Memory Lane in Alger County” for the Marquette Mining Journal and years earlier for the Munising News. \nThe exhibition will be on display through Oct. 3 at the Beaumier Center’s gallery in 223 Harden Hall at NMU. The center’s summer hours are noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is free and open to the public.  \n
