Elizabeth Williams
Hello all! My name is Elizabeth Williams and I am excited to introduce myself as the new marketing intern at the Greater Ishpeming-Negaunee Area Chamber of Commerce.
I am currently a senior at Westwood High School, originally from downstate Michigan. Since moving here four years ago, I have come to love the area and plan on calling it home for the foreseeable future.
Next year I will be attending Northern Michigan University to double major in Environmental Studies and Political Science. The Chamber will give me valuable insight into both the nonprofit world, as well as the business world, knowledge that I can take with me as I decide my future career.
ISHPEMING A popular winter attraction is closing.
Al Quaal’s tube slide, located in Ishpeming, will be closed until further notice.
The hill is popular for people that slide down on inflatable tubes, and are carried back up by a chain.
According to Ishpeming City Manager Craig Cugini, the closure has nothing to do with funding or operational capability.
The tube slide will be closed due to COVID restrictions, personal safety, access to restrooms and heat, and disinfecting the tubes between each use, among other things.
