Last Friday, MHA member David North and I met in Acme at 7 am and headed to Mackinaw City, St. Ignace, Cheboygan, and Rogers City. We stopped into the Mackinaw Area Visitors Bureau to thank Deb Spence, their Director, for the contract and deposit for Welcome's appearances and gave her a snazzy Welcome hat.
From there we headed across the Bridge to check in with several people in St. Ignace that we have been working with to arrange a visit for their Fish Feast at the end of July. Things look promising, and I will go back up on 16 April to attend a meeting of their Events Committee. I met David's dad, former State Senator Walter North, who wrote us a check and was thrilled to hear Welcome is on the move once again.
We took off for Cheboygan but were tight on time for our meeting in Rogers City so we kept on going. We rolled in for our meeting at the "Bradley House", home of the Presque Isle County Historical Museum, where Mark Thompson is the Curator. They have been holding a Nautical Festival since the 60's and are very excited to have Welcome attending this year.
The drive back across the State was tough going, with an inch of slush on the road, but we got back to TC just in time to check in on the cannon training at the Heritage Center.
