Celebrate all that is Chocolate at Chocolate Covered Boyne This Weekend in Boyne City
There are many reasons to spend the day in Boyne City, but nothing as sweet as chocolate indulgences throughout downtown. This is your chance to experience chocolate desserts and specials at participating businesses on February 12 & 13 during regular business hours, in celebration of Valentine’s Day.
Spend the day shopping in downtown’s unique shops and then get a dessert to take home with you from one of the many eateries. While the public dessert contest will not be able to be held this year, due to COVID-19, restaurants will be offering special desserts. Be sure to add a dessert when calling to order a to-go meal. A judged portion will still take place, with the winner announced on the Boyne City Main Street social media and in the weekly newsletter.
Chocolate Covered Boyne is the best way to chase away the winter blues and indulge in delectable creations, all conveniently located in downtown Boyne City.
For additional information and details, please contact Kelsie King-Duff, Boyne City Main Street Executive Director at 231-582-9009 or via email at mainstreet@boynecity.com

Good Neighbors Food Pantry receives Hestia Grant
Everyone needs food to survive. But feminine hygiene products are also a necessity that women need. Those necessities are expensive, and women can’t go about their daily lives without them. “We don’t want anyone to have to choose between buying food and feminine care products, or stay home from a job, doctor’s appointment, or school because they lack these necessities,” said Joanne Park-Foley, a Good Neighbors Food Pantry volunteer. The pantry has received donations of products in the past, but hoped to offer more. Hestia Women’s Giving Circle has made that possible through a grant to the pantry implemented through the Charlevoix County Community Foundation. Feminine care products of all kinds are now given every week to women and girls who need them. The mission of Hestia Women’s Giving Circle is to promote economic self-sufficiency and well-being for women and girls.
Good Neighbors Food Pantry is located at 624 State St. in Boyne City. For more information, find us on Facebook, visit www.goodneighborsboyne.org, call (231) 497-8677, or email goodneighborsboyne@gmail.com.

Dave Kring Chevrolet, Cadillac Wins Better Business Bureau 2020 Torch Awards for Ethics Western Michigan
For 45 years Dave Kring has been selling cars in Petoskey.
"There's still something exciting about giving a set of keys to someone," says Kring from the showroom of his dealership.
For Kring, it's a people business. He started at the dealership out of college, and eventually bought the company. He takes pride in helping others move up in the company like he did.
"All of our managers but one has been promoted from within the business, and that one manager has been with me 40 years, " he says. "It's the biggest joy I have."
When it comes to this award, Kring gives all the credit to his team. " I didn't win. It's the people that work here that put our business on the map."
Along with celebrating his win, 2021 marks 20 years of BBB Accreditation for the dealership.
"My mantra is you do it the right way or you don't do it," says Kring. "That's what we kind of build our reputation on over the years. And everybody that works here has bought into that. Customers know that we have a huge repeat business and it's because people know when they come here they're going to get taken care of and they're going to be treated right."
Check out their highlight video HERE! Visit davekring.com to see what they have to offer!
The Torch Awards for Ethics celebrate and recognize local businesses and nonprofits that demonstrate integrity and a strong commitment to ethics in all that they do. For the first time, the BBB Serving Western Michigan expanded its Torch Awards for Ethics to include an event specifically for the Northern Michigan area. The competition was open to businesses and nonprofits in 17 Northern Michigan counties and was judged by a panel of nonprofit and business leaders in the region. Judges selected three winners and four finalists. The winners were presented their awards in early January and a virtual celebration was held on January 14th.
