It’s always a treat to have members of William “Doc” Ratigan’s family stop in to say hello! You’ll see his bookstore, The Dockside Press (pictured), as well as some of the books he authored, just above their heads on the top shelf! It’s an honor to pay homage to him as an author, journalist, war correspondent, and as the original Charlevoix independent bookseller by preserving the “Dockside” name! We proudly carry his book “Great Lakes Shipwrecks and Survivals” as well!

A big “thank you” to Madison Hagen of Edelweiss Farms for teaching us about all things succulents, to Bridge Street Tap Room for the appetizers and sips, and to all of our old and new friends who came to join us! The results were pretty cute!
