Calling All Cheboyganites...
On February 12th, the
Cheboygan DDA,
City Officials, Cheboygan's Michigan Main Street Committee, the
Chamber of Commerce and many business owners and volunteers will be giving a presentation to the
MEDC's Michigan Main Street Community Selection Committee. As a part of this presentation, we will be filming a video on Main Street, in beautiful downtown Cheboygan on Monday January 28th. We are encouraging all business owners and citizens to help us create this video, by dressing in brightly colored hats and scarves and meeting at Festival Square at 1:30 pm for instruction from our Director.

Bring It Cheboygan Delivers Grocery & Gas Cards to USCGC Mackinaw
On Friday January 18th, Vince Lumetta of
Bring It Cheboygan! and Polly Schneider from the
Cheboygan Chamber delivered 132 $20 gift cards for Family Fare, and 66 $20 gas cards for Blarney Castle EZ-mart to the crew of the
USCGC Mackinaw while they where in port for a short stay. Since the Bring It Cheboygan group announced that they where collecting donations for the USCG stationed in Cheboygan during the government shut down, donations have been arriving at the Chamber daily. We have received donations from Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri and everywhere in between from retired Coast Guard, to citizens who just appreciate what the Mackinaw does for Cheboygan and our surrounding waters to local businesses that want to support our Coast Guard families. The Officers and Crew of the Mackinaw are extremely appreciative of the support they are receiving from the community and want us to express their thanks to all who are involved!
