charlevoix: Charlevoix Marina/East Park Project Moving Ahead
- 03/29/07 01:33 AM
The Charlevoix Marina and East Park reconstruction project is moving ahead. As you can see from these photos, the bandshell, along with the old harbormaster and chamber of commerce buildings have been demolished to make way for the new harbormaster building and performance pavilion. The marina portion of the project is scheduled to be completed by Memorial Day, with the exception of working water and electricity, which, along with the new harbormaster building, will not be available until fall. If you plan to visit the Charlevoix Marina by boat this season, apparently you better plan on either bathing on your boat or in Round Lake.

How can one even begin to comprehend the untold sacrifices which have been made by Major Sloan and countless other veterans … (1 comments)

After several wintry days, the skies cleared on Sunday and all were treated to a glorious fall day. The weather for the annual Charlevoix Apple Festival was picture perfect, and my family and I took the opportunity to travel to Charlevoix for one of our favorite festivals. This year's festival did not disappoint. With numerous artists and vendors displaying their crafts, it was a perfect opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done early. We also managed to sneak in some plain donuts and caramel apples, of course. One can't go to the Apple Festival without buying some apples, and my wife … (2 comments)
