With the upcoming presidential election just weeks away, Wendy Belonga (kneeling), an employee at the Village Inn Restaurant in St. Ignace, created this politicsinspired scenario that took first place in this year's scarecrow contest. Senator Hillary Clinton (right) pushes Senator Barack Obama toward the Village Inn Guy. Mr. Obama is pulling on the arm of the Village Inn Guy, representing the public, she said, which is being pulled in all directions during the campaign. Senator John McCain (second from left) also pulls on the arm of Village Inn Guy, while trying to keep his distance from President George Bush (left). The scarecrow contest is organized by the St. Ignace Chamber of Commerce.

Families climbed aboard the wagon, choosing seats on hay bales to travel from the marina to Little Bear East Arena and back during Bayside Fall Fest Saturday, October 4. Through rain and sunshine, volunteer Jim Fenlon drove the tractor down the center lane on State Street, giving the riders a different perspective of St. Ignace.

Positioning, concentration, and the right touch send pumpkins downhill as families watch and photograph the young participants at the Pumpkin Roll in St. Ignace Saturday, October 4.
