FESTIVAL IRONWOOD kicked off Wednesday night with "An Evening of Bluegrass" by UPNorth Connection. Beer and brats were provided by the Ironwood/Hurley Rotary Club. While the dance floor under the tent was sparingly used, behind the band a young lady, Willow, barely knee high to a grasshopper was dancing and enjoying the music with Valerie and Alan Estola, her mom and dad.
