Stop trail extension

To the editor: The TART group, which is not even based in Leelanau County, is out of control with its overreaching attempt to add another segment to the Sleeping Bear National Park bike trail. The proposed amount of money spent is irresponsible for the amount of use the trail gets during the year. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM

Truly my favorite time of year, I can’t wait for the fall colors and temperatures to come around.

Grandparents Day, 9/11 anniversary coming up

I know this is past , but I hope everyone enjoyed the bridge walk. I’m sure everyone knows this is number 29 and I’m also sure everyone will enjoy a number 30. Ours is known as the original small town bridge wall. There are many more now, if there’s a puddle, small stream etc. There’s a bridge walk but we were the first and we are the best. 09/04/2024 03:50 PM
