IRON MOUNTAIN -- The Dickinson County Republican Committee had its fourth annual corn roast and fundraiser.

Local candidates were in attendance, such as Barbara Kramer running for Dickinson County Board of Commissioners and Lisa Richards running for Dickinson County Prosecutor.
    
Other well known Republicans, such as State Representative Ed McBroom and Congressman Dan Benishek, were also there.

"A lot of old friends here. You know, I practiced (medicine) here in Iron Mountain for three years so I know most of these folks, and a lot of the local candidates are here, and I was able to stop by for awhile to say hey and thank them for their support for my campaign," said Benishek.

All proceeds from the event go to the Republican Committee.
