Library offers space for Anishinabek cultural activities, crafts
The Heritage Library in Peshawbestown is host to a variety of events and activities throughout the year that promote the Anishinabek culture. From workshops centered on how to make moccasins step by step as well as traditional ribbon skirts, to classes teaching people how to create dream catchers and snow snakes in the winter — the library maker space allows for both Native Americans and the general public to learn important aspects about the tribe and its rich culture that continues to live on. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM

Some things are worth an extra wait. Following a delay due to Mother Nature’s cooler temperatures this spring, strawberries from Bardenhagen Berries in Leland Township will soon be available for purchase around Leelanau County. Bardenhagen Berries Owner Steve Bardenhagen said harvesting of the strawberries will begin today, adding they’ll also be sold today to county farm stands and local grocery stores including Leland Mercantile Co., Hansen Foods in Suttons Bay and NJ’s Grocery in Lake Leelanau. *** Plans for another solar array about twice the size as one already in place on M-72 at Bugai Road in Elmwood Township will be the subject of a public hearing at a July 15 meeting of the township planning commission. At last week’s Elmwood Township Planning Commission meeting, planners heard from representatives of Heritage Sustainable Energy who hope to construct a second phase of their “M72 Solar Farm” in the township near Harry’s Road off state highway M-72. 06/26/2024 04:30 PM
