SUMMARY:For the Heartlands Fundraiser Dinner and Concert
DESCRIPTION:Kickstart the Summer with “For the Heartlands” Fundraiser Dinner and Concert on June 5\, 2026\nSupport the launch of the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest\nHANCOCK\, MI\, April 21\, 2026— The Keweenaw Heartlands Community Advisory Committee and Keweenaw Community Foundation are partnering to host “For the Heartlands\,” a fundraiser dinner and concert on Friday\, June 5\, 2026\, at the Hidden Pines Barn in Calumet. \nThe event supports the Keweenaw Heartlands Forest Fund\, held by the Keweenaw Community Foundation\, to establish the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest. The fund covers costs related to the early governance and management of this future publicly owned\, locally governed forest—one of the first of its kind in Michigan. \nSince late 2022\, the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Advisory Committee has worked to advance the project in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The committee has spent over 1\,900 volunteer hours working to ensure sustained public access to the roughly 20\,000 acres in Keweenaw County that make up the Heartlands. \n“We joined the advisory committee because of our club’s mission to support outdoor recreation in the Keweenaw. One of our main trails is on the Heartlands property\,” said Daryl St. John\, Keweenaw ATV Club President. “For us\, it’s about continued access to off-road trails\, hunting\, fishing\, camping—and everything else we love about living in this area.” \nWith more than $324\,000 already secured\, this event celebrates the final phase of fundraising needed to reach the campaign target of $600\,000. Achieving this goal will enable the early planning and start-up of the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest once a local\, publicly elected Authority Board is established. \nEvent tickets are available now and expected to sell fast! Tickets are $125 each and include a sit-down dinner\, one drink token (cash bar also available)\, and live music from The Go Rounds. The event will also feature a silent auction showcasing uniquely Keweenaw experiences. Purchase your tickets online: http://bit.ly/4heartlands-tickets \nMore than just a night out\, this event offers attendees a chance to connect with others involved in this project to learn more about what’s ahead for this community forest. \nBecome a Sponsor\nCommunity members and local businesses are also invited to support the Keweenaw Heartlands Forest Fund through sponsorships that advance the campaign’s fundraising goal. Learn more about how you can sponsor: http://bit.ly/4heartlands-sponsor. \n“As I raise a family in the Keweenaw\, it’s very important to me that my children grow up in a place where they’re free to explore the wilderness\,” said Ethan Deshetsky\, of Hidden Pines Barn in Calumet and a Community Forest Hero sponsor for the event. “I support the Keweenaw Heartlands Project efforts to keep wild places open for future generations.” \nFor more information about the Keweenaw Heartlands Forest Fund\, visit www.keweenawheartlandsforestfund.org or contact Robin Meneguzzo at robin@keweenawgives.org or (906) 482-9673. \nFor more information about the Keweenaw Heartlands Project\, visit www.keweenawcommunityfoundation.org/keweenaw-heartlands.

SUMMARY:Fireworks at Bridgefest 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Keweenaw Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce that IncredibleBank will serve as the official Jon Davis Memorial Fireworks Sponsor for Bridgefest 2026\, taking place June 11–14\, 2026. \n  \nAs the Fireworks Sponsor\, IncredibleBank is proud to support one of Bridgefest’s most anticipated traditions. “We’re thrilled to be part of Bridgefest 2026\,” said Kyle Kumpula\, Market Manager of IncredibleBank. “Supporting the fireworks is a wonderful way to bring people together and celebrate our community. We’re looking forward to sharing an unforgettable night with residents and visitors alike.” \n  \nThe fireworks display will take place on Saturday\, June 13\, with spectators invited to watch the sky over the Portage Canal light up at 10:35 p.m. This year promises an elevated experience as fireworks will be launched from a barge stationed in the heart of the canal creating the thrilling sensation of bursts igniting from the water itself. This unique mid-canal vantage point allows for a wider\, more immersive display\, with reflections dancing across the water and vibrant colors surrounding viewers from multiple shoreline perspectives. A special thank you to our barge sponsor\, MJO Contracting\, for helping make this vision a reality. Please note: Heads up\, boaters! A no wake zone\, and 500’ radius from the barge will be in place two hours before the Bridgefest fireworks launch to ensure the safety of both the display and all watercrafts. \n  \nThe spectacular 16-minute show will be synchronized to music\, which can be enjoyed by tuning in to 97.7 FM\, adding another layer of excitement to the sights and sounds of the evening. \n  \n“We’re grateful to partner with IncredibleBank for this signature Bridgefest event\,” said Katie Schlief of the Keweenaw Chamber of Commerce. “After years of envisioning fireworks launched from the water\, it’s incredibly exciting to finally bring this vision to life. This new perspective from the canal will deliver a one-of-a-kind experience and create unforgettable memories for our community.” \n  \nFor more information about Bridgefest 2026 and ways to get involved\, visit www.bridgefestfun.com or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
