Morning, Walloon ☀️
This week starts cool and a little gray, then gives us a clean Monday before showers return midweek.
If you are trying to plan lake time, Monday is the best bet. Friday and Saturday look better again,
with highs around 70 and lighter wind.
Below is the useful stuff: what is happening nearby, the dates worth saving, and two easy dinner calls in the village.

Friday, June 19 · 8:30am to 1pm · Downtown Petoskey

🎸 Stroll the Streets, Boyne City
Friday, June 19 · 6 to 9pm · Downtown Boyne City
Boyne City Main Street has Stroll running Friday evenings from June 12 through September 4. It is the simple Friday plan: dinner downtown, music on the corners, and enough going on for kids to stay busy.
|
|
🎶 Boyne City evenings at the gazebo
Wednesday, June 17 · 6:30pm · Old City Park Gazebo
The free Wednesday gazebo series is close enough for an easy weeknight drive from Walloon. Pack a chair and keep an eye on the forecast since showers are possible later that night.

🛶 Lake note
Best water window: Monday daytime, then Friday into Saturday
Today is breezy and cool, with west gusts up to 25 mph. Tuesday and Thursday are the rain days to watch. If you are trying to pick a calmer stretch, Monday and the back half of the week look cleaner.

🍽️ Where to Eat
Keep it close to the water this week.
|
Barrel Back
The easy village call for a casual dinner by the marina. Their own site still frames it around house-smoked flavors, local ingredients, an open-air dining room, and the second-story harbor view.
|
|
Walloon Lake Inn
Dinner is listed daily from 4 to 10pm. Wine Time runs 3 to 4:30, and the three-course $60 window is 4 to 5. Make a reservation if you want a real sit-down night on the lake.

💭 One More Thing
This is not the hottest June week, but it is useful. Get outside Monday, keep Tuesday and Thursday flexible, and save Friday night for Boyne City if the sky clears.

That is the lake this week. Reply with an event, a new spot, or something worth watching and I will work it into the next issue.
See you on the water. 🌊
