Bowling Down Main Street set for March 30

Not every town closes a street to let kids bowl, but Harbor Springs does! On Saturday, March 30, from noon to 2 p.m., kids of all ages will be able to, quite literally, bowl down Main Street. It all started as a joke about how Main Street is typically not too busy in this shoulder season, and it continues every year around April Fools Day. Join in the fun, whether it’s rain, shine, snow, wind, summer-like temps - you name it, the Harbor Springs Chamber will be there, at the intersection of State and Main, next to Johan's Pastry Shop.

In addition to bowling, check out these fun and mostly free features for the kids:

• Get a FREE hot chocolate and donut for the kids at Johan's
• Northern Lights Recreation will be giving away a FREE bowling card to all participants.
• Rocking Horse Toy Co. will be giving away a FREEbie!
• Harbor Springs Lyric Theatre will be showing “Problem Child” for 25 cents at 11 a.m.
• Great Start Parent Coalition will give away FREE books to all children at their information table.
• Little Traverse Bay Humane Society will also be attending with some adoptable pets.

Welcome, new chamber member!

Team Honor will have a team of riders participating in the Zoo-De-Mack. The March 15-17 event is a major fundraiser for our non-profit. On the same weekend, we will host a golf tournament at The Highlands at Harbor Springs. Captain Richard Phillips will play again this year and a dinner will be hosted following the tournament.

Team Honor has constructed an electrically assisted tricycle to enable veterans to participate in the ride who may be unable to because of health issues.

Part of the motivation for Team Honor’s founding was the need to support Gold Star families as evidenced by the life of Heath Robinson. Each year as we prepare for the Zoo-de-Mack ride we visit the memorial (pictured above) to Heath at the Cut River Bridge. Wearing the tan baseball cap is Captain Richard Phillips, who was rescued from Somali Pirates by Navy SEALs like Heath Robinson. Captain Phillips will be playing in Team Honor’s golf tournament again this year.

Small businesses impacted by lack of snow can apply for economic injury disaster loans 

As Michigan continues to face record high winter temperatures, Governor Gretchen Whitmer urged Michigan small businesses impacted by lack of snow to apply for federal funding from the Small Business Administration (SBA). Amid the warmest winter on record, with days in February and March topping 60 degrees, federal Economic Injury Disaster Loans are available because of ongoing federal drought declarations affecting 42 Michigan counties.  

"Michiganders are used to tough winters, but this year’s record-setting warm winter has been tough in a different way, causing economic hardships for small businesses and regional economies that rely on snow,” said Governor Whitmer. “I know how hard this winter has been on families and communities who rely on winter tourism revenue and all the associated business that comes with it - hotels, restaurants, and shops. Fortunately, businesses in these 42 counties in the UP and the Northern Lower Peninsula can apply for support right now. A drought is a drought - whether we’re talking about rain or snow. Businesses impacted by low snow in these 42 counties can apply for support right now, and I’ll continue to push our federal government for more solutions. We’ll get through this warm winter together.”
