Noteworthy Spring Concert "Fab, Fun, and Female: A Soiree of Song"
2026-06-11 19:00 | Houghton High School, 1603 Gundlach Road, Houghton, Michigan, 49931
Noteworthy will hold its upcoming spring concert, “Fab, Fun, and Female: A Soirée of Song,” at 7 p.m., Thursday, June 11, at the Houghton High School Auditorium

“Noteworthy is a fun, fabulous group of women, and for this concert we thought, ‘Why not do songs that are just like us?” said director Joan Harbour. “As well as familiar tunes, we have a few playful numbers that I know our audience will really like.”

The concert also features Wende Jonas Hill, a local folk/rock singer who performs with Dodge Street Band, Trees, and Soundwaves.

Noteworthy is the region’s only women’s barbershop chorus, with a repertoire of familiar, singable melodies performed in four-part harmony.

The program includes “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” “One Fine Day” and “Together Wherever We Go.” No concert about being female would be complete without Helen Reddy’s “I Am Woman,” and all ladies in the audience will appreciate the whimsical ditty “A Dress with Pockets.”

Noteworthy does not charge admission for its concerts. A free will offering will be taken to benefit the Upper Peninsula Human Trafficking Task Force.

For more information or to find out about joining Noteworthy, contact Harbour at 906-482-5088 or noteworthychorus@gmail.com .

Fireworks at Bridgefest 2026
2026-06-13 22:30 | Houghton, Houghton
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.

As 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.”

The 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.

The 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.

“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.”

The Iron Ore Heritage Recreation Authority (IOHRA) has been notified that the Negaunee Township Fire/Search & Rescue Department will conduct a training exercise on the Iron Ore Heritage Trail from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, June 15.
The training will take place along the trail segment between the County Road 492/M-35 intersection and the Kalkaska Drive entrance to the Smith Construction quarry.
The exercise will simulate the rescue and extraction of an injured trail user from a remote section of the Iron Ore Heritage Trail. As part of the department’s annual training program, the exercise is designed to provide responders with hands-on experience in trail-based emergency operations.
Residents and trail users may observe emergency personnel, vehicles, and rescue equipment in the area during the training. While the exercise will resemble a live emergency response, it will be conducted under controlled conditions and is strictly for training purposes.
Questions regarding the training exercise may be directed to Bob Hendrickson, Trail Administrator for the Iron Ore Heritage Trail, or the Negaunee Township Fire Department.
