IRON MOUNTAIN -- There was some commotion at the top of the Pine Mountain steps in Iron Mountain on Friday as the set up for Saturday's Korean War vets celebration
There will be a dedication ceremony for Korean War veterans starting at 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Immediately after the ceremony, there will be a music festival that will run until 11 p.m. The festival is a fundraiser to help raise money to expand the current memorial.
"It's going to be a late night; hopefully we have a good turnout, and we can maybe make some money to expand our memorial next year," said Vet Memorial chairman Dennis Larson. "We're going to be putting a big memorial expansion on, it'll be approximately $80,000."
If you would like to attend the event, it is free for veterans, but for everyone else admission is five dollars.
Parking will be at the bottom of the Pine Mountain steps, and a shuttle bus will bring up guests every 30 minutes starting at 1 p.m.
