Bridgefest

Friday was the beginning of Houghton/Hancock's Bridgefest celebration. One of the longest parades you'll ever see is here. Lasting at least a couple hours, the parade traveled through Houghton, crossed the Portage Life Bridge, and ended on the far side of Hancock.

After a pre-race spaghetti dinner at the Temple Jacob in Hancock, the Red Jackets rode in the Houghton part of the parade and had to bail before the Hancock part. The parade went pretty late and we all had to get home in preparation for the Keweenaw Chain Drive the following morning.
