Dedication held for completion of Inlet’s Elaine Townsend Trail

A dedication ceremony for the newly-completed Elaine Townsend Trail along Route 28 in Inlet was held on Saturday, October 27.

The trail, which begins at the Inlet Golf Course and proceeds north to the Townsend property, and across Route 28 to the Seventh Lake House, was constructed in memory of Elaine Townsend.

Prior to her passing, Elaine had hopes that a safe walkway would be available to not only her grandchildren, but to all those who ventured along Route 28.

Her four children, John, Becky, Don and Andy, and her grandchildren were among those present at the ceremony to see her dream become a reality.

A plaque memorializing her will be placed on a rock at the break of the trail leading to a snowmobile trail. Continue reading →

Card of Thanks

I would like to thank everyone for all the cards and phone calls I received when Howard passed away. In the 31 years that we lived in Inlet, Howard enjoyed every day. He loved his customers at the Inlet Marina and would help anyone in need.

I also would like to thank Herb and Carol Schmid of Kalil’s Grocery for the food trays and fresh rolls that served my family and friends, the Millers at Screamen Eagle for snacks and desserts after the service, and Jamie at Marina Motel for the cherry pie that was Howard’s favorite.
