Scenes from Italian Fest in IM
At the 2022 Italian Fest in downtown Iron Mountain on Saturday, four teams competed in the spaghetti dinner toss, in which one partner tried to fling bread, salad and spaghetti with sauce so the other could catch it. From left, tossing were Dave Hendrickson, Tristen Wene, Ava Montanez and Chris Rigoni; catching were Elsa Pontbriand, Ace Wene, Sarah Montanez and Kyle Blomquist. Rigoni and Blomquist won.
