Perseid It's Time

The shower tends to peak around August 9-13.

The best time to view the Perseids, or most other meteor showers is when the sky is the darkest. Most astronomers suggest that depending on the Moonâ??s phase, the best time to view meteor showers is right before dawn.

Chamber site

Just a thought...The West Side web cam should be added to the Chamber's visitor page with the other island web cams. I enjoy looking at all of them.

historical memorabilia on the Bradley

After talking to several islanders about Frank Mays coming to the Island, it was brought to my attention that many remember this fateful night. If you have old newspaper clippings, photos etc. please bring them to share.

short but good

Better turn your phones on renters, this should bring business your way. The fact that Beaver Island was presented with these other destinations really says something special about the Emerald Isle.
