Wanted: River Monitors for Boyne Area Chamber July 4 Rubber Duck Race
 
Three or four skilled kayakers are needed to monitor the rubber ducks progress and help keep the public from intervening as they race to the finish line.
 
Race starts at 2pm when they are dumped into the river behind Harbor House Publishers, and ends at the Lake St. bridge/finish line.
 
Two or three wranglers will be positioned at strategic, predetermined spots along the river course. Once ducks are dumped, they cannot be touched. Your main job will be to inform the public - Do Not Touch the Ducks!
 
Wranglers #3 and/or #4 will be positioned at the finish line which is a floating rope with a funnel type chute. As the first 10 ducks funnel into the chute, your job is to yell out the duck numbers on the bottom of each duck to chamber staff on shore. 
 
Once the first 10 ducks are documented the race is over and the Boyne Public Schools Robotics team will be on site for duck retrieval. Your job is done! The raft race follows the duck race at approximately 2:30 or so. 
 
Interested? Please contact Lisa at the Boyne Area Chamber, 231-582-6222 or 231-459-6582.

Meet Us Again...For The First Time at Farley Promo

Why the new name and a new look? Promotion is what we do, in all sizes and shapes, and we all know that capturing the attention of clients can be a challenge. Direct and to the point is the way to go, and it is time. On the lighter side, The Farley Calendar and Promo Products Company is truly a mouthful to say.
 
What has changed, you may ask? Absolutely NOTHING! Same Owners, Same Management, Same Great Customer Service! Promotional calendars have been, and always will be, the foundation of our success. They will continue to be the backbone of our company and the glue that holds together many successful partnerships. As we began to expand our promotional offerings, it became apparent that being more to the point with our company name, and how it shaped our image moving forward, was crucial. The speed at which social media and brand marketing continues to evolve and grow, put even more importance on keeping pace with the times...even better, moving ahead of it.

As another option, kids of all ages can also participate via the Wandoo Reader app. More information at our website. Adults who participate in SRP this summer will be entered in weekly drawings for great prize bundles by submitting "Hot Tickets" for each book they have read that week.

A note from the Boyne Thunder Committee

Dear Friends in Downtown Boyne City,

The Boyne Thunder Event Committee and our partner charities, Camp Quality and Challenge Mountain, are busy planning this year’s event that takes place July 9th and 10th. We look forward to greeting a full slate of boating participants and bringing the Thunder back to the shores of Lake Charlevoix. 

We are keenly aware that we have July 4th and Boyne Thunder occurring in the same week which typically means no down-time for you, our local merchants. We want you to know that we appreciate all that you do to help us put on this terrific event that, we hope, not only benefits our partner charities but you as well. 

We also know this year has tested us in ways we couldn’t previously imagine. With the loosening of restrictions, and the fact that we can gather outdoors, this most likely means that we will have a full-house for the Friday night street show (6pm until 9:30pm) and on the shores Saturday morning, with the parade laps beginning around 10:15am. 
If you would like additional information for Boyne Thunder 2021, please visit our website: www.boynethunder.com

On behalf of the committee, THANK YOU for your continuing support and always showing the best of Boyne City hospitality. We are Boyne Tough and Boyne Proud!

2nd Annual Feeding Northern Michigan Food drive, presented by the radio stations of MacDonald Garber Broadcasting. 

The Covid-19 crisis continues to hit Northern Michigan families hard and the need at area food banks is great. So MacDonald Garber Broadcasting stations are coming together once again to help. The week of June 7th is the 2nd annual Feeding Northern Michigan Week on 106KHQ, Lite 96.3, 104.5 BOB FM and 96.7 The Bull. 
 
This year, we are excited to welcome Joel Jacob and The Bottle Crew as our partner. Food insecurity is an issue close to Joel’s heart and he is very generously offering to match all listener donations up to $25,000. This incredible match donation will go directly to feed families in Northern Michigan. 
 
Each radio station will be focusing on hunger for the entire week and will encourage listeners to join them in donating too. Donations will be made on each station’s website and will go to restock the food pantries at The Manna Food Project, Father Fred Foundation and Feeding America West Michigan. 
 
Many local businesses are also joining the fight against hunger and are partnering with their favorite radio station to drive donations. This is a total community effort. 
 
For more information, Diane Shannon Hansell is available at 231-347-8713 or at [email protected].  
Boyne Area 4-H Swim School Registration Open

We are as excited as many of you to be holding 4-H Swim School this summer. You will notice some changes that we had to make this summer to make things work but we are hopeful that for 2022 summer that things will look more like what many of you are used to. Returning this summer as our only instructor, is a kid favorite, the awesome Ms. Ally Herrick. Lessons this summer will be 45 minutes long, twice a week for 4 weeks (typically they are 30 minutes twice a week for 6 weeks). Swim school will start Monday, July 5th and go until Thursday, July 29th. As classes are a longer time this summer, you may see a very minimal amount of time where the kids are not in the water to help break up the longer swimming lesson (as we know that some get cold sometimes depending on the temperature or bored), so to break it up you may see some small amounts of dry land training where kids are coloring or labeling worksheets with currents/rip tides, weather safety, how to properly fit and put on a life jacket, what’s under the water you don’t see, the importance of swimming in pairs and much more.
 
Unfortunately, with a shortage of staff, like many are currently faced with some changes had to be made, so there will be no lake swim this year but youth can come back for 2022 to swim their triangles and do the lake swim for free (youth will still need to register for 2022 but will not be charged). You will notice on the informational flyer there are set class times for specific levels (this cannot be changed) and there are only 8 spots available for each time/day combo so for example M/W 10:00am level 4-5 can have 8 youth and T/Th 10:00am level 4-5 can have 8 youth. Registration is first come, first serve…please call the office to see spots are available or to be put on a wait list (if for some reason a specific day/level/time has no one, we will call parents on waitlist to see if that time/day would work for them). Also, there will be no bus transportation this summer because there is not enough staff for the free swim option or to ride the bus back & forth and to do parent pickup/drop off at Veterans park. Thank you for being patient with us as we tried to figure out a way to make 4-H Swim School happen this summer J Can’t wait to see you all at the beach!
 
Registration Form can be found HERE
 
If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to reach to the MSU Extension (4-H) office at 231-582-6232. Office Hours starting June 8th are Tuesday-Thursday 8:30-4:00pm. Forms and payment can always be mailed in to MSU Extension, 319-B N. Lake Street, Boyne City, MI 49712.

CITY OF BOYNE CITY - The City of Boyne City will be holding a public information meeting regarding the proposed marina expansion on Tuesday, June 15, 2021 at 6 pm in the city hall commission chambers.

The City is researching various options to be able to fund the gap. One option being discussed is a 15-20 year bond (loan) that would be paid back using marina revenues.
Present at the meeting will be City staff and consultants from both Abonmarche, the City’s engineering firm who will discuss the phasing and cost of the project and Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors, LLC, the City’s financial advisor for this project to explain various financing options.
