Over the past 25 years Tom Lakenen has built more than 100 sculptures from scrap iron on one of the most beloved attractions in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Stop by for a Bonfire with Dr. Bob (A Yooper Party) and see for yourself why the Detroit Free Press called Lakenenland "The coolest unofficial roadside rest stop in the state."

His 37 acre park includes a Sculpture Trail, a winding road through the woods featuring more than 100 of Tom's whimsical, colorful and sometimes "tell it like it is" Metal Art sculptures showcasing his tremendous talent for turning junk metal and scrap iron into awe inspiring, entertaining works of art.

In addition to the Sculpture Trail, Lakenenland also features:

• A bog walk
• A massive timbered framed pavilion
• (with the coolest table and fireplace you've ever seen)
• A picnic ground
• Two entertainment stages
• A playground for the kids
• Two fishing ponds
• A brand new timbered "T Shirt shack"
• Direct access to the North Country Trail

This is a fun raiser for Dr. Bob Lorinser. The event starts at 6 p.m. Bring the family.
