Issue number Eight for this year has entered the mail system on August 2nd from Greenville, near Grand Rapids, in Michigan. A special drop off of issues for subscribers in the U.P. and the Northern part of the lower peninsula will be placed in the Gaylord Postal Center on Wednesday August 4th. The never ending store delivery cycle started on Monday August 2nd, heading into the lower part of Michigan. Both Robin and Jeremy make about 50 stops a day, and keep that pace up until the whole newsstand areas are delivered. That takes just about four weeks, even if it rains, snows or whatever they run into out there. It is a toss up what is worse, deer or city drivers and snow or baking heat. If you see our pickup trucks while they are off on their runs, wave or say hello, that always makes them smile.
Next months issue will be delayed a week from going to the printer to allow for full coverage of our Porcupine BASH 2010 Birthday Party and "Saluting Our Military" weekend event, here in Chatham, located in the central U.P. So instead of the normal four weeks between printing, the next issue will have a five week span, then back to the normal four weeks.
Final preparations are being made and the park had a good test run with the holding of the Alger County Fair last weekend. The weather was great and a good crowd showed up and Captain Mike worked in the kitchen helping serve a steady flow of chicken dinner eaters, from eleven until almost four o'clock. It was a good work out for the BASH party yet to come, the last weekend in August.
