COOK—It’s billed as “fun-filled days for you and your family,” the Cook Timber Days that’s happening Friday, Saturday and Sunday, June 13, 14 and 15. According to a history of Cook, the first Timber Days celebration took place in 1947 to celebrate Cook’s logging heritage. The first homesteaders arrived in what is now Cook. The Native American tribes referred to the area as Ashawa, a term used for a stopping place along their travels to and from Lake Vermilion.
