  • Dead River Derby Women's Roller Derby League
    Dead River Derby Women's Roller Derby League
    Association/Club/Group;  Education/Classes;  Nonprofit;  Service Club;  Sports/Outdoors
    Dead River Derby came together in the spring and summer of 2012. A group of people who didn’t really know each other got together with the idea of starting a roller derby league in Marquette. After a lot of planning and prepping, the league was formed and Fresh Meat 1.0 kicked off July 1, 2012. We skated hard and worked on our skills until our first bout in March 2013. Filled with both excitement and terror, we headed downstate to face Mid Michigan. We didn’t win – in fact some might say we got slaughtered – but it was a thrilling and amazing night. We worked even harder and gained a little more experience before our first home bout at Lakeview Arena in Marquette on May 18, 2013. Over 1000 people came to watch roller derby make its debut in Marquette, and the excitement in the air was undeniable. DRD went on to have an undefeated first home season. After a short off season, we regrouped and started training hard for our second season. We are always striving to learn new skills and improve our game. We hope that when you come to see our bouts, you catch the excitement we feel every time we lace up our skates. See you there!!

    In the early 1910’s, Jafet Rytkonen was a partner in the Star Theater and Liberty Theaters in Negaunee, but he had a desire for a larger, grander theater.  Jafet and his associates traveled to theaters all over the world, taking note of each theater’s best features. He then hired architect David E. Anderson to design “the grandest vaudeville and movie theater north of Milwaukee and east of Minneapolis.”  Ground for the theater was broken in 1925.  A naming contest was held, and Negaunee resident Mae Duchane provided the winning name.  She was awarded $25 in gold. The fifth, and final standing theater to be built in Negaunee, the Vista Theater opened on September 20, 1926. Jafet Rytkonen ran the Vista until his retirement in 1950, after which his son, William, and son-in-law, Peter Ghiardi took over operations.  Rytkonnen & Sons eventually expanded their operations to include not only the Vista, but both the Ishpeming Theater and Butler Theater in Ishpeming.  The Vista Theater remained open until 1972, when William Rytkonen died. In 1973, a group of local citizens formed the Peninsula Arts Appreciation Council (PAAC). They took over the running of the Vista, updated some features and in 1975 began using it as a venue for multiple artistic forms, including amateur theater productions, musical programs, concerts, films, puppet shows, art exhibits, and arts workshops.  On July 22, 2005, the structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. PAAC continues to operate the theater and in 2014, thanks to a grant from the Cliffs/Eagle Foundation, installed a new digital projector and screen, making it one of the few facilities left in the United States that acts as both a playhouse and movie theater. Ninety years later, our legacy remains the same; to enrich those in the Upper Peninsula through means of story telling and performance arts of all kinds.  The Historic Vista Theater takes great pride in continuing to be involved in the Marquette County community and we hope to continue to play our part in the sustainability of our region for decades to come.  As we look to ensure the future of our theater, we welcome everyone to come and experience the Historic Vista Theater, one of the remaining historical theaters the U.P. has to offer.

The terrain includes stretches of near-wilderness, creek crossings, hills and valleys, and heavily forested land. Mushers say this is one of their favorite races, not only because of the challenging race, but because of the beautiful trail, the cheering crowds and warm welcome they receive at every checkpoint along the trail here in the Upper Peninsula.
