| The second annual Calumet Heritage Ice Cream
Social was held at the Oak Street Inn on Saturday afternoon, June
29, a day of 90-degree-plus temperatures. Jim Flood, center, owner
of the Inn and generous donor of free ice cream and soda, chats
with visitors Dave and Kathy Kesti of Cloquet, Minn. In the
doorway of the Inn is Mary Zunich, 93, long-time Calumet Village
resident. "This is wonderful!" Zunich commented. Flood,
who has restored the building, built in 1879, now rents tourist
rooms upstairs. The building, at 808 Oak Street in Calumet, was
formerly Lud's store and Schmatzel's Saloon. |
