Welcome aboard Abby

That phrase, the very foundation on which Info Northeast was founded, is much more than a mission statement. We tend to think of it as a promise to our readers; an ultimate goal to strive for and build towards every day.

 

In practice, Info Northeast turns 6-months-old this month; this website launched in June. In theory, we are not quite twice that age – the idea for a website serving all of Northeast Michigan was conceived during the holiday season just last year.

 

And from day one we understood those 14 words above to be our most basic requirement for success.

 

Designing a website, administrating content, attracting readers and building an audience has been a huge undertaking and we are pleased with what we’ve accomplished so far.

 

But nothing we’ve accomplished yet makes us as proud as the story you’ll find below, written by Ogemaw Heights High School sophomore Abby Mier, Info Northeast's first high school correspondent.

 

You see, Mier’s story is expressive of everything we hold Info Northeast to be and all we dream to become; the first step toward our goal of hosting one or more voices from every high school in our coverage area on our pages.

Soaring, into the wild unknown

By JERRY NUNN

It was simple table talk really – informal banter floated across the table while deciding which line-up of events the Info Northeast Festival Task Force (F.T.F.) would cover on its second weekend of existence.

The early morning hour at which it started sealed the deal for last Saturday’s Annual Fly-in and Pancake Breakfast, sponsored by Chapter 1253 of the Experimental Aircraft Association and held at West Branch Community Airport. With Central Michigan Skydivers scheduled as part of the fare, the decision was all that much easier.

That’s when the most ludicrous words came from my son Scott Nunn’s mouth.
