A Superior Weekend

At the Chocolay Area Harvey Daze Festival at the Silver Creek Recreation Area Saturday, officers from the Chocolay Township Police Department were on hand with bicycle helmets for kids of all ages. The kids were fitted with the correct size helmet and able to take it home for free. Officer Zane Weaver fits Lucas, age 4,­ with a helmet and also shows him the inside of the police squad vehicle. The proceeds from the annual Harvey Daze Car Show will go to the Lions Club of Harvey and the Marquette Salvation Army. (Journal photos by Amy Grigas)
Participants of Saturday’s second annual NAMIWalks Northern Michigan — a fundraiser for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a nonprofit grassroots organization with affiliates around the nation — are pictured along the bike path near Mattson Lower Harbor Park in Marquette. “This event tends to be the largest fundraiser for some of our smaller affiliates,” NAMI Michigan Executive Director Kevin Fisher said. “And the purpose behind that is all of the education and support programs that we offer throughout the community are at no cost to participants.” For more information about the local NAMI affiliate, visit namiam.org.
