Dear Seekers of QUIET ADVENTURE, or 25 years, I have had the privilege of serving as administrator of Emmet County, the land of the Crooked Tree, Odawa Indians Fand Ernest Hemingway, located in the unspoiled and spectacular natural beauty at the tip of the Michigan mitt. As you pore through the area’s fascinating history, you’ll find legends of nomadic Native Americans and tales of dashing French voyageurs, British Redcoats fighting American patriots, and a coterie of religious zealots, one of them the nation’s only king. Entrepreneurs among them gave us fur coats, Mackinac Island fudge, the Grand Hotel, the Mackinac Bridge, and a coastline peppered with romantic villages and lighthouses. In fact, we’re dedicating this publication to the county’s newest acquisition, McGulpin Point Lighthouse, which will again become a beacon to shipping on the Straits of Mackinac for the first time in 100 years. In Emmet County, you’ll find such treasures as: • 800 acres along Cecil Bay, once a thriving lumbering community that has reverted to Lake Michigan wetlands without a trace of settlement; • The Headlands, 600 acres of native forest, flora, fauna and beachfront; • Camp Pet-o-se-ga on Pickerel Lake, where you are invited to bring your family to fish, recreate and relax under your own tent or in a rented cabin; • The newly renovated Community Fairgrounds, where the Emmet-Charlevoix County Fair takes place every August, and where antiquing, concerts, festivities and other activities abound throughout the year; and • The Odawa homecoming pow-wow in August on tribal land between Harbor Springs and Petoskey. In the pages that follow we present the story of our fair county and the solace it offers to those buffeted by the noise and confusion of big city life. And, we invite the imaginative and industrious among you to join our friendly communities and start and nurture a business in a quiet, sophisticated environment through the four seasons of the year. We believe Emmet County is a wonderful place to live, work, play, invest and retire. We know you will, too. Come join us! Lyn Johnson EMMET COUNTY CONTROLLER LIVE. WORK.

Family Services coordinated this event last year to bring awareness to our tribal members and the community at large as to what Domestic Violence really is. “We hold this conference, to let individuals know that there is help, and hopefully bring The Tribal Community back to the values that women and children are Sacred – not property, which was learned from the Europeans.” Says Julie Ramsey. Member’s attendance was much greater this year than the last and Family Services predicts that it will increase from year to year. People will come to recognize it’s importance and pass the word around. The format changed somewhat this year from last, ABOVE LEFT - Shawn’s (Stalzer) drumming and singing was although last year’s conference went extremely well, it being the wonderful... first of this kind. - By Emily Drouin ABOVE RIGHT - Annie Humphrey, (...) sharing stories and songs with us...
