DULUTH - The numbers are in for a festival that dedicated part of its proceeds towards helping Northland flood victims.
The Twin Ports Bridge Festival raised more than $18,000 for the United Way Long Term Recovery Fund from tickets sold.
However, if you take into account donations raised at the gate and from vendor sales the United Way is getting about $25,000.
This year festival organizers added an extra day to their event with a special Trampled By Turtles concert to help those devastated by the recent flash flood.
