FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, LOCAL ARTIST and gallery owner, Margaret Tvedten, will be hosting a special event designed to increase appreciation of the beauty of northern Michigan and to generate donations for two organizations that seek to protect it: Little Traverse Conservancy and Tip of the Mitt Watershed Council.
On Saturday, August 8, invited artists and authors will go to a special place in Emmet County to paint or write, returning with their work for display at the Tvedten Fine Art Gallery in downtown Harbor Springs. An opening reception will be held that evening beginning at 6:30, and the artwork and writing will be on display throughout August. Ten percent of the sales of the works created that day will be split and donated to the Conservancy and the Watershed Council.
“This show is a win-win for all the people involved: Artists and writers celebrating the beauty of our sweet area with their special talents and the people who come to enjoy the show,” Margaret said. “Hopefully these people will take something home with them which, in turn, will support the land and water organizations with a donation for the great work that they do.”

Carnival, 4-H exhibits, horse shows---and more!  Please visit the Emmt County website for additional information on schedules and event times.

Join the festivities as community members compete in this ancient English tradition. Competitors chase a cheese wheel down Kiwanis Hill - to the winner goes the cheese! Participants need only pay a $5 registration fee and sign a simple liability waiver (just a formality). All proceeds go to the Manna Food Project. Free refreshments will be provided for all involved. Come out, support the community, and have fun!
