One of the most common observations made about the Iron Range by outsiders is that we Rangers put on a hell of a Fourth of July every year. Parades, street dances, fireworks, stuff for the kids, stuff most definitely for the adults. We’ve got it all. A lot of people walk out with a smile, a few walk out looking like the characters at the end of “Apocalypse Now.” That’s how we roll.
