McNeal, now deceased, was a member of the Marine corps League Keweenaw detachment 1016. The detachment now has full possession of the float. It was found in a store house at the Veterans Hospital in Iron Mountain, where it was stored for many years. (Jan Tucker/Daily Globe photo) |

| The Ragbirds play while audience members dance at the sixth annual Porcupine Mountains Music Festival Sunday at the Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park. The band members are, from left, Max Lockwood, Loren Krantz, Erin Zindle and T.J. Zindle. Not pictured is Randall Moore. On Sunday, musician John Doe said it was so hot that every time he moved his fingers to a new fret, his guitar would sizzle. Jackie McMullen, a volunteer with the festival, said the turnout was up from last year. Mary Bartlein, a member of the festival’s sound company, Armadillo Sound, said she was struck by the wide age range of the attendees, from young children to people in their 60s and 70s. The festival’s attendees were “open to whatever music we present,” Bartlein said. “It’s all about the music.” (Kate Genellie/Daily Globe photo) |
