| Ironwood - January 12, 2010 Last night the City of
Ironwood also held its first meeting of the year. Not to be out
done by their peers, the City Commissioners, concluded their
business in a record setting time of twenty minutes.
The only notable thing accomplished at the meeting was to
approve a resolution supporting Orvana’s Copperwood project.
Other than that the group spent the night applauding themselves
on the success of this past weekend’s Ski Marathon. Which was a
great success all things considered. The City Staff and City
workers did a great job in preparing the streets, aid stations
and parking areas for the event.
While some twits were complaining about the use use of city
facilities for the event, those with positive attitudes were
helping to create the city’s success. We’ve been told that local
businesses saw an up tick in business this weekend. We hope that
is more fact than hype.
IronwoodInfo reporters made a tour of Ironwood at 2:00 am
Saturday morning (or Friday night depending on your lifestyle).
We can state emphatically, that the motel’s in town were
basically empty, with a couple of exceptions. The Indianhead
Motel had a fair amount of cars present. The motels with the
highest occupancies were the AmericInn Inn and the Comfort Inn.
Both motels were packed with snowmobilers, not skiers. So where
did all those marathoners sleep? HMMMM! |
