Bill Jamerson:
"Up in the U.P."

September 9, 4 - 5 pm

Imagine living in an iron mining town where seven out of ten adults was foreign born. This was a place where a person could live their entire life without speaking English. Bill's original songs tell the story of life in the mining towns like Negaunee and Ishpeming. The favorite winter sport was ski jumping, Saturday night was a time to join friends in a sauna, and pasties were the food of choice for iron miners. Join Bill Jamerson, filmmaker, songwriter, and author, as he explores the unique culture of the Upper Penisula of Michigan.


Dr. Arthur & Ursula Rathburn
