2021 Stroll The Streets Sponsorships Available
We are really looking forward to the return of events and gathering with our community again in a safe manner! As we begin what can only be an outstanding 2021, it is time to start planning the 18th year of Stroll the Streets. The first Stroll the Streets will be June 11 and will run every Friday evening through September 3, 2021.
Stroll the Streets is one of Boyne City Main Street’s signature events for our community – enjoyed by thousands of residents and visitors. Stroll the Streets is the perfect opportunity to display the friendly and welcoming community that is Boyne City. The positive image this event creates is invaluable to us all and impossible to put a price tag on.
Thousands of people visit downtown Boyne City during the thirteen Friday evenings throughout the season to dine at our many restaurants, shop in our stores, enjoy ice cream, dream about a second home – and come back the next day, next week, or next year to do it again.
While it is difficult to understand the direct impact to each of us, just doing simple math tells a great story. What if 1000 people spent an average of $20 every Friday night for thirteen weeks and just 5% was at your business? That is $13,000 in sales.
In 2019, more than 75 bands were hired throughout the season with an investment of $16,000 to entertain the crowds.
That success is because of you! Your contribution makes Stroll the Streets possible. We thank you for your past support, and we hope we can count on you to help again this summer. With your investment in Stroll the Streets you are supporting a great event, and we will recognize your support to the thousands of people visiting our businesses and strolling our streets. Please review the attached information to see how you can support Stroll the Streets.
For planning purposes, we are asking you to let us know your level of support by May 3, 2021 by returning the enclosed sponsorship form. Payment is not due until July 1, 2021.
Thank You. Boyne City Main Street 231-582-9009

Guest Column- Michael Cain, Boyne City Manager
An open letter to the Citizens of Boyne City
The last year has been a challenging one for everyone across our world, our country, our state and our community. We have all had to do things that none of us could have ever expected just a little over a year ago. We have all had to make many difficult decisions, often quickly and without complete or not fully tested information. Things have changed as we have learned more, only to be changed again as newer and more reliable information became available. For better or worse, the rule book for dealing with this pandemic has had to be written as we worked our way through it.
Some people have experienced life altering events. The death or severe illness of a family member or friend. The loss of a job or a business. The disruption of our normal lives as we tried to adjust and cope with a seemingly endless stream of new challenges, requirements and bad news.
Through it all the City of Boyne City has worked to insure the services we provide that are most critical to our citizens, are ones you can rely on when you need them. And they have been. Not only have all of our key functions continued without exception, but we have continued to make progress on new items that further the goals that our community has established.
Although City Hall has been closed to the public at times during the pandemic, the work being done has never stopped. Who knew last March how effective many of us could be working away from ‘work’? That is not always the case for many of our frontline workers. Our Police Officers, Emergency Medical Service providers and Firefighters all work from City Hall but respond to wherever duty calls. Likewise, our Public Works and Water/Wastewater personnel, although based in different buildings, must go to where the work requires them to be. To help keep all of them safer and help protect the critical services they provide, the City has kept City Hall closed to the public. Although the building may be closed, none of the critical work that goes on there has stopped. Whether being done in that building or someplace else the citizens of Boyne City can be confident that the work needed to continue to build a better Boyne has not slowed. New homes and jobs are coming to our community. Roads are being improved and maintained. Parks and recreational resources like trails are being improved. The list goes on and on. From the very early days when we tried new ways to help our businesses and all our citizens interact safely, to this very day Boyne City continues to do what is best for the community as a whole.
Recently, with the reduced age requirements, all City employees who wanted to be vaccinated have been. Most of them have completed getting their shots and are on track to have them become fully effective shortly. As such, the City Office staff will be available ‘by appointment only’ beginning on Monday, April 5th. Regular Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and can be reached by calling 231.582.6597. Police Department office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays and can be reached by calling 231.582.6611.
Assuming there are no further COVID setbacks or conflicting new Federal, State or other guidance City Hall is scheduled to reopen to the public on Monday, April 19th at 7:30 a.m.
We all want to get back to ‘normal’, or whatever that might be going forward, as soon as possible. The quickest way that we can all get there together is to get vaccinated, continue to wear a mask in public and follow the other guidance from our healthcare providers. Hopefully, working together, that day will come sooner rather than later.
If at any time you have any questions, comments or suggestions regarding anything the City of Boyne City does, or doesn’t do, please feel free to contact me directly at either 231.582.0377 or mcain@boynecity.com. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michael Cain
City Manager

Yardleys discuss plans for Boyne River Inn at Team Boyne
Russell and Rosie Yardley, who are the
presumptive new owners of the Boyne River Inn, told the Team Boyne economic support group this week all about their plans for the iconic local restaurant. They were hoping to open in June, but some construction delays have delayed the opening until September.
Russell is well known to Boyne City residents, working as the head chef for Boyne Country Provisions over the past seven years, and before that for the Tannery and Little Lena’s restaurants. Rosie has worked with her husband from time to time as well, and the
pair plan to bring back “the old BRI,” including the popular all-you-can-eat Friday night fish fry.
You can hear all their plans in this
leaders including City Manager Mike Cain, Mayor Tom Neidhamer, School Superintendent Pat Little, Main Street Executive Director Kelsie King-Duff, County Commissioner Chris Christensen, Boyne Chamber Associate Director Lisa Luebke, Jessica Lovay from the Northern
Lakes Economic Alliance and Steve Bratschie, developer of the new Fox Run manufactured home community.
Team Boyne meets on the third Friday of

Boyne City Main Street Façade Grant Applications Now Available
Up to $20,000 to be invested into rehabilitation and improvement of downtown facades
Applications for Boyne City Main Street’s 2021 façade grant program are now available. The façade grant program provides matching funds for Main Street District property owners and tenants to improve the facades of their buildings, in order to maintain the architectural character and economic viability of downtown.
“We look forward to continuing our work with building and business owners in the downtown with programs like the façade grants that result in long-term investment,” Kelsie King-Duff, Boyne City Main Street Executive Director, said.
To begin the process, interested property owners or tenants must review the Façade Grant Program Guidelines on the Main Street website HERE and meet with the representatives from Boyne City Main Street to discuss the scope of the project. An application must then be submitted by noon on April 29. After a competitive review process by the Design Committee and Boyne City Main Street Board a decision will be made to which projects receive funding. For every dollar awarded the applicant must spend an equal amount. Individual grant amounts will be up to 50 percent of a project’s cost. A total of $20,000 is available for the 2021-22 cycle.
Funds are provided by Boyne City Main Street with dollars raised through Boyne Thunder. There is no set minimum or maximum number of projects per year. Eligible items under the façade program include, but may not be limited to: removal of siding that was used to cover original building materials, exterior brick or wall surface repair, pointing of brick/mortar joint repair, window and/or door replacement/repair, any architectural details in need of repair and/or replacement. Ineligible expenses include paint, signage, awnings and work that has already been completed.
The grant program seeks to encourage private investment through the rehabilitation and improvement of facades within the Boyne City Main Street District, to encourage good design that will serve as quality examples, and to preserve the architectural character that is distinctive to Boyne City. By improving the appearance of the building facades, the program aims to improve the economic viability of the downtown.
For more information about Boyne City Main Street and the façade grant program or to schedule your meeting with Main Street representatives, visit www.boynecitymainstreet.com or email mainstreet@boynecity.com.

Charlevoix Area Humane Society announces HomeAgain Resale Store to open soon!
The Charlevoix Area Humane Society is opening a unique “Upscale” resale retail store titled “HomeAgain” in Charlevoix County, 118 Water Street in downtown Boyne City. This store will be distinctively characteristic in its clientele and donor market, as we are not interested in competing with the current and very worthy cause resale stores in the area.
The Charlevoix Area Humane Society’s resale store HomeAgain, will be unique in that the inventory will be higher end home accessories, art, collectable items, new and distinctive items not found in other resale stores.
HomeAgain, our Shelter Store will not be a “bargain store” concept, but rather a good deal on great quality items, for a great cause.
We have been considering and working on this concept for a good number of years now, and feel this is the right time~ We are asking you to keep the idea in your thoughts, as you consider tax deductible goods (and services) you can contribute to the cause.
Our objective is to create a consistent and reliable revenue generator to support the mission of the CAHS in saving lives and finding loving homes for animals in need.
We will soon be collecting inventory (like new only) such as decorative home accessories, new store close outs, vintage and designer clothing, art work, collectable Items, home accessories, furniture, some antiques, and more…
Our goal is to create an exciting retail store that is a destination location in discovering something new and unique every time you walk in the door, and also a meaningful place to “Rehome” your special donated goods for a great cause.
Thank you so very much for all your support
Further details to come.
With Gratitude,
Scott MacKenzie, Executive Director, Charlevoix Area Humane Society

A Statewide Housing Plan for Michigan MSHDA is leading the development of Michigan’s first collaborative statewide housing plan.
What is a Statewide Housing Plan (SHP)? Housing is the cornerstone of thriving communities and every person deserves safe, affordable, and quality housing, yet according to the Michigan Statewide Housing Needs Assessment, about 50% of our state’s renters, and 25% of its homeowners pay too much for housing. A Statewide Housing Plan will help identify the causes of this and other housing issues and what must be done to address them equitably, inclusively, and in a way that best leverages all available resources.
How do I get involved?

Covid-19 Vaccines Available to Charlevoix County Homebound Residents
The Health Department and EMS services in Charlevoix County have begun offering Covid-19 vaccinations to the homebound population in Charlevoix County. This service is intended only for individuals unable to travel to an established vaccine location—the Office of Emergency Management schedules appointments for home visits. The Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccination shots will be given during these visits. Please note that EMS paramedics will not show up at your residence in an ambulance but another fully equipped vehicle. Paramedics will be prepared to provide medical service immediately in the rare event of an adverse reaction to the shot. They would dispatch an ambulance only if one is needed for transporting a patient to the hospital. Persons who are homebound or otherwise unable to travel but want a vaccine are encouraged to contact Emergency Management at 231-541-4461 (Sheriff’s Dept Office Line) to schedule an appointment.

March 31, 2021 Health Department of Northwest Michigan COVID-19 Update
Vaccination Status Update
Since December 2020, when COVID-19 vaccination clinics began, the Health Department of Northwest Michigan has administered 30,858 total doses of COVID-19 vaccines
As of March 28, the health department’s vaccination status is as follows:
Number of vaccine doses administered last week (March 22-28): 3,501 doses.
Number of vaccine doses allocated for this week: 3,290 doses.
Percent of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego county residents who have received at least one dose of a vaccine: 41.4%. • Percent of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego county residents 65 and older who have received their first or initial dose: 70.7%.
For additional vaccine administration data, please visit our COVID-19 vaccine dashboard.
The health department’s vaccine dashboard is updated weekly on Tuesdays.
Lisa Peacock, Health Officer, for the health department’s jurisdiction of Antrim, Charlevoix, Emmet and Otsego counties, noted that appointments are being scheduled across the region for individuals 16 and older. To sign up for vaccination at the Health Department of Northwest Michigan:
Visit www.nwhealth.org.
On the main page, click on the COVID-19 vaccine pre-registration link for all priority groups to complete the pre-registration form.
An automatic email or text will confirm your submission.

Only the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for 16- and 17-year-olds so it is essential to properly fill in the date of birth fields in the pre-registration form for minors so that we can plan for vaccine as well as parent/guardian permission.
A family member or friend can help register anyone with a barrier to online registration. Remember to put the registrant’s date of birth or other personal information; however, you can list your phone number or email address. In addition, anyone with barriers to internet access or other constraints such as transportation can call 2-1-1, the Aging Hotline at 231-715-5557, or their local Commission on Aging or Senior Center.
“Last week marked our biggest week of vaccination clinics as we held 13 clinics, with two clinics being supported by EMS to vaccinate homebound individuals! We are excited to continue to add new locations in the community and alternate options for those residents that need vaccine closer to home in order to reach our vaccination goal,” Peacock said. The health department wants to remind residents that all three vaccines available – Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) - are safe and effective. A list of organizations offering the vaccine in the health department’s four-county jurisdiction is available by Clicking Here
