By P.J. GLISSON [email protected] IRONWOOD - Despite interruptions from Mother Nature, the Gogebic County Fair drew lively crowds over the past weekend and allowed local residents to participate in a wide range of fun over a 4-day weekend schedule.

As of midday Wednesday, over 160 people were signed up across all the events, including 43 half-marathoners and a similar number for the full 26.2 miles. They may get a lot more signed up in the final...

SAXON, Wis. - One of the most popular events at this year's Iron County Fair was the draft horse pulling contest, in which four 2-horse teams pulled thousands of pounds in an attempt to show who's boss. It turns out that every team left with an award, but that seemed less important than the sheer excitement that the Sunday contest generated among all parties: horses, drivers and members of the audience who watched in anticipation from the fairground grandstands or from behind a fence...
