April 7, 2014
It hasn’t been a bit warmer over in Boyne City than it has here, but they are an intrepid bunch. Where there is intrepidity, there is Babs. She brought you back a present: the ice fountain from the Boyne City Park. Yes, the skating rink beyond is Lake Charlevoix. Yes, it is frozen, but not in […]
