You Can’t Judge A Book By Its Cover––Or Can You?

You Can’t Judge A Book By Its Cover––Or Can You?

The cranes repairing the stone breakwater represent the hard-working people in the trades who keep Northern Michigan up and running––its parks and waterfronts and roads in tip-top shape––it’s hotels and restaurants standing proud among the finest in the world.

The yachts and sailboats are symbolic of the life styles of the rich and famous––but more than that they exemplify the spirit of fun––playing in what’s been called America’s Riviera.

The rocky shoreline depicts the tireless efforts of trusted professionals––those striving to preserve and protect the mental, physical, and fiscal health of the people they serve..

The sky portrays the freedom of imagination of up-north photographers, gardeners, artists, actors, chefs, bakers, florists, teachers, poets, writers, and musicians­­––all those who uplift and nourish the heart and soul of residents and visitors alike.

The breakwater stands for the safe guarding of the areas traditions, values, and ethics long left to the care of ministers, churches, colleges, schools, libraries, museums, and charitable organizations; the constant diligence of townships and municipalities.

The water represents the tides of fortune ever-present in business; the challenges faced by its owners who offer employment––drop anchors to ride out the good times and bad––provide goods and services for locals and tourists alike.
