Quiet Armstrong 4th of July
The Fourth of July came and went. There is no smashed candy leftover on the parade route, no leftover cleanup in the park, no messes from the street dance. These are usually things that Armstrong residents see the days after the Fourth of July Celebration. This year was different.
Post Offices in Emmet County
Few people realize that Emmet County had over thirty post offices from 1857 to the present day. They were not all open at the same time, but in 1900 there were thirteen different post offices in out county. The first post office was established in 1857 and carried the name Emmet. George Granger was the postmaster.

Bancroft celebrates the 4th in style
Over the past few months and COVID-19 on everyone’s minds, very few things have brought a smile to people’s faces. So I am hoping that Jackson Zittritsch’s excitement after collecting a few handfuls of candy during the Bancroft 4th of July parade reminds everyone that the little things can make anyone smile.
