LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Gratitude for “River Street: A Look Back”Dear Editor,
The Elk Rapids Area Historical Society thanks everyone who attended “River Street: A Look Back” presented during Evening on River Street last week. It was a joy to share a “now versus then” look at several prominent buildings in our charming main business district. Together, we revisited familiar storefronts, remembered places that shaped village life, and uncovered a few surprises. We loved bringing this program to the community and hope it added enjoyment, historical awareness, and civic pride to your Wednesday evening downtown. The large, captivating photo panels of the buildings (then and now) will be displayed at the History Museum – 301 Traverse Street, Saturdays, 1-4p.m. If you enjoyed that program, please attend the third annual Historic House Walk, Fri, Aug. 7 and Sat, Aug. 8, 10-11:30 a.m., (during Harbor Days) starting at the Museum. We will highlight the architecture and occupants of 25 structures in our village – most of them never featured on previous tours. Bring your family and friends for this fun and informative stroll through the past. Thank you for supporting the Elk Rapids Area Historical Society as we honor the people and places that have made our village so special. Nancy Baker ERAHS Trustee |
A baseball season to rememberDear Editor,
To the Williamsburg Warriors, Baseball Coach, Brandon Isenhart. We are the great grandparents of one 9-U team member and one 12-U member. We thoroughly enjoyed the games we attended. Watching all these boys grow and become confident in the positions they were playing and supporting their teammates. How much they developed from the beginning of the season through the last game. Even the umpires giving advice to some of the players, shaking hands with the catcher, fist bumping them as they came up to bat. We do not know the names of the other coaches who also had sons on the team, but they were excellent working with the boys. To Hannah Isenhart, thank you for Game Changer. If we could not attend an away game, we could watch on the Game Changer app. The out-of-state grandparents could watch the game, too. Thank you, coaches, for all the time and work you spent building these teams. Great grandparents, Glenn and Sandra Paradis, Elk Rapids Grandparents, Eric and JoEllen Ziesmer, Elk Rapids Letter to the Editor Guide
