Rader, Matthews, Patoka join Boyne Chamber board
The Boyne Area Chamber is adding three local business leaders to our board of directors for the new year. They will be installed at the Annual Awards Gala on January 16th.
 MATT RADER says he "had the great fortune of being born and raised in Boyne City."
Growing up, he fell in love with the multitude of activities and amenities in Northern Michigan. It is because of these opportunities that he and his wife Kelly have chosen to raise their three children in the area. If three kids were not enough, the two also own a restaurant, Bella Vita, a name chosen because it translates to "Beautiful Life."
A passion for skiing and snowboarding led Matt to employment with Boyne Resort as a teen. After a "ski bum" season in Big Sky, then attending Northern Michigan University, he returned to Boyne Mountain and was offered a position with Boyne Realty, where he began his career as a Realtor. Matt recently brought his 14+ years of resort/vacation real estate sales and development expertise to Pat O'Brien & Associates.
 LACEY MATTHEWS
is the Communications and Marketing manager for Great Lakes Energy, the largest electrical cooperative in the state of Michigan, based in Boyne City. Lacey is a native of Antrim County, growing up on a sheep farm on the south end of Torch Lake.
She directed marketing for an electrical utility in Houston for four years before moving back home in 2017. Lacey is the proud parent of her two kids, Isthmia and August, and proud dog mom to her Great Dane, Beau. She enjoys snowboarding, boating, traveling, horseback riding, reading, and being a hockey mom.
 PATRICK PATOKA is the Waterpark & Adventure Center Director at Boyne Mountain Resort. Originally from Wisconsin, Patrick has been a resident of the Boyne area for 12 years. His wife Jessica is the Playcare Children's Center Director, also at Boyne Mountain Resort. Together they have a 3-year-old son, David, and an English bulldog, Bauer. Patrick and his family are outdoor enthusiasts who love camping, kayaking, golfing and skiing. Patrick is also an avid hunter, fisherman and home brewer.

The exterior and interior of the future Old Spud Warehouse on South Lake Street.
Old Spud Warehouse opening this spring in former Sportsman
Here is some exciting news from Facebook about a new business coming soon to downtown Boyne City:
"The Old Spud Warehouse is having a baby! We've decided to open a second location in Boyne City in the old Sportsman's Bar. We plan to open in March if all goes well. Follow the progress on
Facebook
or on
Instagram
."
The former Sportsman property was purchased and remodeled by Catt Development. Catt has also redeveloped the building that houses Lake Street Pub, Lake Charlevoix Coffee and Sports Medicine on Lake Street as well as the One Water Street building that is home to Cafe Sante, Alpine Chocolat Haus, Kidd & Leavy Real Estate and several other businesses on the second floor.
What's the Old Spud Warehouse all about? It is a popular Gaylord store located in an old former farmers co-op building used by local potato growers as a railroad shipping point to get their harvests to market. According to their
website
, "In this unique setting, The Old Spud Warehouse offers the out-of-the-ordinary in a wide range of products from the (in our humble opinion) best of furniture, lighting, home decor and personal items along with the always surprising and unusual one-of-a-kind items. Opened in May of 1997, Spuds has become a Northern Michigan destination for those who are weary of seeing the same things wherever they go. We pride ourselves on the fun and unusual in all areas of the 7000 square foot shopping area. With new things arriving daily, it is a different store every week."

Freshwater Gallery announces 4 winter/spring concerts
|
|
|
David Mayfield Parade performs January 18th.
|
Freshwater Concert Venue has announced four performers who will be performing in concert in the new year. They include the David Mayfield Parade Americana/bluegrass band on January 18th, followed by Chastity Brown on Feb. 14, Steve Poltz on April 10 and Eliza Gilkyson on May 9.
David Mayfield may be one of the most original performers on the Americana scene, known for his bombastic stage presence as much as his virtuosic guitar talent and songwriting prowess. Those who have seen Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Jessica Lea Mayfield, or at Bonnaroo, have caught the charisma, the heart, and the comedy, and it's likely you'll come back for more.
This singer-songwriter, band leader, and Grammy nominated producer stepped out of the sideman shadows with his 2011 album, "The David Mayfield Parade." His follow-up, "Good Man Down," was self-released and funded with a surprising successful Kickstarter campaign that more than doubled its initial goal of $18,000. On the heels of that success, Mayfield has partnered with Compass Records, a label that Playboy Magazine calls "Nashville's hippest alternative label." "Strangers," Mayfield's first album with Compass, is a tour de force, stretching from the avant-garde to Mayfield's musical roots, which are buried deep in the bluegrass tradition from a childhood of touring with his family's band.
> Call (231) 582-2588 to reserve concert tickets, $35.

Fat & Flurrious Bike Race is part of Shorts series on Jan. 11
The third annual Fat & Flurrious Bike Race returns for 2020 on Saturday, January 11th with a new partner. This will be the first race in the Short's Brewing Fat Bike Series. Fat & Flurrious is a winter fat bike race that starts in front of Stiggs Brewery & Kitchen in downtown Boyne City and flows around the groomed single-track and hiking trails at Avalanche Mountain. Just like previous years, the course is condition-dependent. Bad snow = shorter course, great snow = longer course. The Open category, which will be two loops around Avalanche, will finish between 1.5-2.5 hours. The Sport Category will only ride one lap and will finish between 50 minutes-1.5 hrs. Only the open category counts towards Shorts' overall points. The event is also a fundraiser for Top Of Michigan Mountain Bike Association to build new mountain bike trails. Register here.
Stiggs hosts the after-race parking lot party, which coincides with their third anniversary. They will have large heated tents full of fun and entertainment by the Lonely Lovers and Lavender Lions. They invite you to make your best chili recipe in their first annual Chili Cook-Off with public voting and tasting beginning at noon. All entry fees will be donated to the Good Neighbors Food Pantry of Boyne City. Limited to 12 entries.

Jake Allen
|
>
Friday, Jan. 3 - An Evening With Jake Allen,
alternative artist and Northern Michigan native, performs songs from his upcoming record along with favorites from his vast discography. Allen took his solo show to the road in 2009 and has been touring ever since. With his unique percussive style, two hands on the neck technique and live looping, Jake Allen has transformed his acoustic guitar into a versatile instrument and has gained international acclaim as an artist with the sound and energy of a full band.
Allen's powerful vocals, engaging lyrics, and capacity to connect with his audiences have earned the alternative artist recognition as a celebrated international touring sensation. Allen has produced several acclaimed solo records, playing every instrument himself to complement his smooth, soaring voice. As Jake Allen continues to write, produce, and perform, his mission statement remains the same: "I observe, report and affirm my life through the act of making music. In turn, I wish that act will enrich the lives of others and inspire them to be their own definition of great."

DOWNSIZING FOR HAPPINESS - How to have a happier life by getting rid of stuff will be discussed at Lifetree Café on Sunday, Jan. 5, at 6:30. The Lifetree event, titled "Upsizing Life by Downsizing Stuff: Living Large in an 84-sq-ft House," features a filmed interview with Dee Williams, author of the best-selling book The Big Tiny. "I live in a tiny house. It's 84 square feet, which is fewer square feet than a parking spot," says Williams. "Downsizing allowed me to step away from a $250,000 mortgage, high utility bills, and feeling a bit lost in life." Participants will get practical tips for getting rid of stuff and see how one woman downsized to owning less than 300 items to maximize the amount of space in her life.
> Lifetree Café is in the First Presbyterian Church, 401 S. Park St., Boyne City. Use the Pine St. entrance. It is a place where people gather for conversation about life and faith in a casual, comfortable setting. Questions may be directed to
Elizabeth Broschart at 231-582-7983
or Lifetree@fpboyne.org.
