The Arts Council’s annual exhibition at the Cedarville Inn certainly displayed a lot of local talent, as well as new talent by many of our summer visitors. It was a wonderful revelation to the many people who visited the exhibition. The “meet the artists” and silent auction reception Thursday evening, August 26, was very well attended and it was nice to hear all of the positive comments.

The pottery class, conducted by Jeri Reid and several assistants, was a great success again this year. Many people who sculpted and molded the clay, followed by the glazing process, were thrilled to see how their work came out of the kiln. Both electric firing and raku firing was done. It’s always a surprise to see the results.

A nice pike was caught by Mike Mann, who is an owner at the Cedarville RV park. The pike measured 40.5 inches long and weighed 16 pounds, 14 ounces. It must have been a big thrill to bring up a fish of that size.

They will have their first meeting Tuesday, September 7, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the library. Beginners, as well as intermediate and skilled quilters, are welcome.

Kelly Jack and Matthew Broadwick were married at the North Channel Yacht Club on Lake Clair Shores. Kelly is the daughter of Stanley and Linda Jack of Beavertail Point in Cedarville.

What beautiful weather we had for the last weekend in August. Boaters were out Sunday, August 29, enjoying the wonderful sunshine and warm breezes. I went swimming off Marquette Island, and that is a first for several years. Many of our summer visitors have left the area, but we hope that next weekend over the Labor Day holiday will be just as nice.
