We were attending the Pentwater Historical Society Spring Dinner when a member excitedly (shared) she had just read her (2015 SUMMER edition of BLUE) and seen the article about Pentwater’s sand sculpting contest with our family’s picture (“Enchantments in the Sand” by Lauren Carlson, page 24). We were elated! We and our children and grandchildren are very honored about being part of your magazine which highlighted our beloved Pentwater. It is time we subscribe so we can enjoy all the highlights of Michigan you so interestingly feature. We do love our BLUE lakestyle!
— Ray and Sherry Kloostra, Pentwater

We welcome letters to the editor. Please send letters in care of: Editor, Michigan BLUE Magazine, 549 Ottawa Ave. NW, Suite 201, Grand Rapids, MI 49503, or e-mail to lisaj@geminipub.com. Letters may be edited for reasons of clarity and space.
Correction: On page 35 in BLUE SUMMER 2015’s “Beyond the Page” feature, Outdoor Book Club founder Jill Hinton is misquoted as noting that Isle Royale “gets the same number of visitors as Yellowstone.” Michigan’s only national park receives as many visitors in one year as Yellowstone National Park does in one day. We apologize for our error.
