Boyne City-Thank You Kelsie King-Duff
City Manager Michael Cain presents some flowers after Mayor Tom Neidhamer presented a certificate of appreciation to Boyne City Main Street Executive Director Kelsie King-Duff at Tuesday’s Boyne City City Commission meeting. Main Street Board President Rob Swartz looks on at right. They thanked Kelsie for her four and a half years of service. This was her last City Commission meeting before her last day of work on July 8th - or before her baby arrives, whichever comes first!
The certificate said this:
This Certificate of Appreciation is presented to Boyne City Main Street Executive Director Kelsie King-Duff.
Thank you for your dedication and service to the Boyne City community, its downtown, its businesses and its citizens.
The Main Street Program and downtown district under your leadership has prospered, progressed, been preserved, and energized. The tone has been set for the future of Boyne City’s downtown and a great foundation has been laid for many more great things to come. The results of these efforts reach much further than the downtown district and benefit our entire community.
On behalf of the City of Boyne City, the Main Street program, and the community, we thank you for your years of leadership to our downtown, and service to the people and businesses of our community.

Boyne Heritage Center hosting Three Public Open House Events
Did you know that one of the important jobs in the long-ago lumbering industry was the work of the four men in the cook shanty? They were known as first cook, second cook, and two flu kids. The duty of the first cook was to be in charge and to be the pastry cook. The second cook prepared and cooked the meat and vegetables and called the men to meals by blowing on a long horn. The flu kids swept and scrubbed the floors, set the table, washed dishes, prepared vegetables and served the meals. Teamwork.
What is remarkable about this small fact from this treasured industry is that we have a pictorial history of it - and we want to share that with you.
The Boyne Heritage Center is proud to announce the first of three public Open Houses to be held on Friday evenings, the first of which is July 9th. We will have the doors to our unfinished museum space open for you to walk through, read about some history and take a walk around the original LaFrance fire truck on display.
We are fortunate that our community’s historical collection contains thousands of photographs, documents and artifacts from which we can piece together our history and tell the story of those that came before us. The Boyne Heritage Center is in the process of creating a museum-quality digital catalog of these treasures and planning for a full outfitting of the museum space. Currently, historical photographs are being painstakingly unpacked, cleaned, conserved, scanned at high resolution, catalogued and re-housed into archival safe storage materials. Some of these will be displayed at each of the upcoming Open Houses.
We invite you to join us, delight in the treasures we have unearthed and perhaps learn something new about our wonderful town. Our museum space is located in the Boyne City City Hall, 319 N. Lake Street. See you on July 9th!

Feeding Northern Michigan Raises $14,168

All funds raised will go to restock the food pantries at The Manna Food Project, Father Fred Foundation and Feeding America West Michigan.
MacDonald Garber Broadcasting is a locally owned broadcasting company. “We are thrilled to have made such a sizable impact for food insecure families in our local communities. All thanks goes to Joel Jacob and his team at The Bottle Crew, our supporters in the business community, and of course, our beloved listeners” said President of Programming Peter Garber.
