The Munising Beacon proudly presents, once a month, another “Artist Profile”, a series highlighting local artists and community members that have a passion for bringing beauty into Alger County. Have you ever ventured into the Gallery Coffee Company here in Munising and wondered who took the photographs that are displayed throughout the building? One of those artists, Patrick Hugener, owner of Head In The Clouds Photography, is the subject of this month’s “Artist Biography.” Hugener grew up in Fenton, Mich.

As the holiday season approaches, if you are looking for the perfect weekend family activity, the Hiawatha National Forest would like to suggest Holiday tree gathering.

Purchase information and details about designated cutting areas, dates and types of trees that may be cut can be found at: www.recreation. gov/tree-permits/hiawatha.

City employees install the holiday decorations to the lightpoles in Munising’s downtown district. Lights and banners are up to celebrate the holidays.
