Neagunee – January 18-19, 2013 – The Heikki Lunta Winterfest this last weekend was a great success. The Fishing Derby on Teal Lake started the festivities with some 200 anglers participating. Organizers said numerous fish were caught including several suckers which anglers said are all over in the lake and stated the suckers are good feed for the Pike in Teal Lake.
The keepers included two caught by Eric Bartle of Ishpeming. Eric caught a couple of monster fish including a 38 inch 15 pound Pike and a 27 inch 7 pound Walleye.
Later on Saturday there was Heikii Lunta Dance at the Negaunee Senior Center featuring music by the Hart Beats and Bonfires on the beach. There was a Steak and Lasagna Winter Feast started at 5:30p, and Fireworks over Teal Lake at dusk rounded out the Saturday events. Sunday opened with a Buffet Breakfast at the Negaunee Eagles and was followed by the Blooper Ball 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Old Towne Festival Park.
