Winter Wonderland Wrapup: Curling Clash, Green Grids, and Cultural Connections in Traverse City
Published 3 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Wednesday, January 21st. Winter wonderland out there with snow showers blanketing the bays and a crisp 13 degrees, but plenty of indoor warmth to chase away the chill. Kicking off with a chilly clash right here in our backyard: the Traverse City Curling Club is suing Garfield Township over a tax dispute and allegations of Open Meetings Act violations, filed just today. This could shake up how local sports clubs navigate property taxes and transparency, potentially affecting curling fans and community facilities alike. Meanwhile, Traverse City Light and Power is pushing forward with a bold decarbonization framework approved last week, aiming for 100 percent renewable energy by 2040, which means cleaner power bills and a greener grid for all of us powering through these snowy days. TCAPS trustees are also eyeing sustainability, targeting Green School status for every campus this year while approving a new superintendent contract, setting kids up for eco-smart futures amid Michigan's wild winters.
Art lovers, get cultured today with Michigan's Heritage Barns exhibit opening at 9 AM at Traverse Area District Library, showcasing stunning photos of our landmark barns that tell stories of rural resilience through tough seasons. Over at Crooked Tree Arts Center, the Between Us winter exhibition starts at 11 AM in the Cornwell Gallery, diving into themes of connection and distance perfect for these cozy cabin-feel nights. DJ Bingo is popping up at various spots tonight for some high-energy fun, and Wednesday Night Date Night specials are running weekly to spark romance. Nominations are open for Traverse Connect's 2025 Distinguished Service Award, honoring local heroes in business, arts, and conservation nominate that trailblazer you know. Looking ahead, catch the lingering Holiday Tree Stroll through January 24th for twinkly walks, or gear up for IPR's new Concertino Club matching solo concertgoers to build community vibes. Garfield Township's got public hearings this week on Boardman Lake housing and zoning tweaks that could reshape lakefront living.
County offices are relocating temporarily for Governmental Center upgrades, smoothing out modern workspaces without major disruptions. And if you're tech-curious, local entrepreneur Kalob Hagen is launching app-building workshops to spark the next TCNewTech wave, empowering you to code your ideas in a day. Stay safe out there with those snow showers, bundle up for these events, and support our local scene. This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
