Lion of the Year for 2024
On behalf of the Iron River Lions Club, President Tom Madison presents the 2024 Lion of the Year award to Karen Wicklund. Lion Karen is remarkably active in our community and club. All she does is done with a smile, great attitude, and heart of service. Cheer for Karen as she rides through the Blueberry Fest Parade on July 28. Congratulations Karen!
Spring Fling
A huge thanks to the community of Iron River for their generous support of the event! The Iron River community enjoyed a fun filled afternoon on Saturday celebrating Springs with a sock hop and kid’s carnival at the Iron River Community Center. All proceeds went to Essentia’s “Erick Peter Persons fund” which provides funds for the families of children who are being treated by the children’s cancer center. The funds provide support for family’s meals, lodging, and deductibles.
