Santa Parade & Holiday Open House
The Santa Parade & Holiday Open House will take place on Friday, November 27 (the day after Thanksgiving).
This year the parade will be stationary - meaning the floats will stay in one spot and the people watching will be the ones moving. The floats will be set up around the loop in Veteran's Park. Cars can enter from State Street and drive the loop to view the floats (with Santa at the end, as always!). The drive-thru parade will take place from 6-8 p.m. You can view the official parade poster here. If you would like to have a float of your own the application can be found here. Be sure to visit your favorite downtown restaurant for a bite to eat before or after the parade, and the shops are sure to have a ton of unique gifts for everyone on your list!

Health Department of Northwest Michigan COVID-19 Update
October 27th - The Health Department of Northwest Michigan is reporting 51 new confirmed cases in Antrim (4), Charlevoix (7), Emmet (27), and Otsego (13) counties. Case investigation and contact tracing are in progress, and relevant information will be shared when it is available.
We continue to ask that anyone getting tested for COVID-19 isolate until they get their results. Recently there has been an increase in the number of reported close contacts of confirmed cases. The challenge is that the infectious period begins 2 days before the development of symptoms, so by the time a person knows they are sick they have already exposed others for a couple of days. That is why quarantine after exposure and/or testing is so important, typically if someone is maintaining quarantine when/if they develop symptoms the only people exposed are household members.
“Our health department staff is again working extended hours in order to properly and thoroughly investigate each new confirmed case of COVID-19. With a recent uptick in cases we have also seen an increase in close contacts, each contact is then called to discuss their exposure and quarantine,” shared Dr. Meyerson, Medical Director. “In order to protect one another and prevent any further surge in cases, we strongly encourage our community members to keep social gatherings to a minimum, maintain a 6- foot distance from anyone outside your household, wear a mask, practice good hand hygiene, and please stay home if you are feeling sick.”
As of 4:00pm, the Health Department of Northwest Michigan is reporting: • Positive COVID-19 cases in the following counties: Antrim – 123, Charlevoix – 172, Emmet – 263, Otsego – 237 • Recovered COVID-19 cases in the following counties: Antrim – 62, Charlevoix – 90, Emmet – 137, Otsego – 148 • Confirmed COVID-19 deaths in the following counties: Charlevoix – 4, Emmet – 4, Otsego – 12. The State of Michigan has reported 167,545 cases and 7,257 deaths.
Stay up to date on the latest information in the Health Department jurisdiction by liking and following our Facebook page and visiting our COVID-19 Data Dashboard. To locate a testing facility, visit the Michigan COVID-19 Test Finder website. To track the risk levels of COVID-19 pandemic indicators, visit the MI Safe Start Map website.

Flu season 2020: “Give it a shot”
Staying protected during the flu season is more important than ever. Not only is the flu a serious illness, it can also be a huge burden due to stress placed on our health care system, costs related to medical treatment, sick days and lost productivity from employees being off work.
The flu vaccine is a smart way to reduce an individual’s chance of getting the flu and benefits everyone around them. Encourage your members to “give it a shot” this year. Share the attached helpful tips and resources to make sure they get the right information, understand the importance of the flu shot and know where to get vaccinated.

To Our Community and Friends,
Due to Covid-19, Boyne Area Community Christmas will look a lot different this year. We anticipate a greater need so we are getting started earlier. But with your help, we are confident that we can achieve our goal since 1954 of “No child in the Boyne area will be without a Christmas.”
For the safety of our volunteers and families, we are committed to following the recommended Covid guidelines from the Health Department and CDC. Therefore, the following changes have been made:
• Volunteers will be given a specific time to help pack boxes. Packing and distribution will happen on Dec. 17 and 18. Call Lisa at Boyne Area Chamber to reserve your day and time 231-582-6222.
• Donations of new, unwrapped toys and books can be dropped off at any Toys for Tots location. Boyne Area Community Christmas is the recipient of any toys collected in the Boyne area. Drop off locations TBD. Follow our Facebook page for details of needs and drop off locations.
• All food and toys will be delivered to families this year. This will require more volunteers that have a vehicle. All delivery drivers will be paired with another volunteer.
• New mailing address!! Monetary donations can be mailed to Boyne Area Community Christmas, PO Box 886, Boyne City, MI 49712
• If you are interested in volunteering to either pack boxes or for delivery please contact Lisa at 231-582-6222. ALL volunteers must be scheduled in advance. Please be prepared to wear a mask as needed.
Sign up forms for families will be distributed to ALL students that attend Boyne City and Boyne Falls Public Schools and Concord Boyne.

Odawa Casino Presents More than $11,400 to Local Non-Profits
Odawa Casino raised more than $11,400 in donations to share equally between four local nonprofits, and presented checks to the organizations including Women’s Resource Center of Northern Michigan, Wawatam Area Senior Center, Little Traverse Bay Humane Society, and Cheboygan County Habitat for Humanity, for $2,853.72 each.
Odawa Casino launched the Spare Change Donation program in August in response to the national coin shortage and simultaneously supports local nonprofits within the community. The program includes boxes around the casino floor where guests are able to donate the change from their gaming vouchers instead of cashing them in at the casino cashier.
“The Spare Change program was created as a way of doing our part in both the current national situation, but also sending donations to some amazing nonprofit organizations that are crucial to our community. We were pleased to see that the community showed up and had such a positive response to the program”, said Ron Olson, Odawa Casino General Manager.
Odawa Casino Petoskey and Mackinaw City will continue the program for the foreseeable future with different nonprofits in the area every few months to continue with addressing both the needs of the community, as well as the coin shortage.
Owned and operated by the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, the $140 million Odawa Casino in Petoskey opened in June, 2007 and features nearly 1,000 slot machines, table games, multiple dining options, the fabulous new Victories Sports and Entertainment Bar, and an off property 137-room hotel. Odawa Casino Mackinaw City opened in May 2016, and is currently in the process of a brand new expansion for an even higher quality gaming experience.
