Traverse City Local Frequency: Spring Arts, Paddling Festival, and Flood Safety Updates
Published 6 days, 13 hours ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Monday, April 20th.
We're starting this week with some exciting cultural opportunities for those looking to get out and enjoy the arts. If you're in the mood for some spring inspiration, the Oliver Art Center in Frankfort is hosting Bloom, a celebration of spring featuring work in all media by local and regional artists. That opened today and runs through May 8th. Over in Boyne City, the Boyne Arts Center has launched Return to Light, an exhibit exploring the many facets of illumination that runs through May 25th. And here at the Dennos Museum Center on the NMC campus, you can check out Trilobite Treasures, an exhibition running through May 31st that showcases these fascinating ancient creatures.
For those interested in staying active, the senior center is offering Brightletics Ageless Grace chair exercise this morning at 10 AM, featuring brain and body fitness classes led by founder Lisa George. It's just five dollars to participate.
Looking ahead to this week, paddling enthusiasts will want to mark their calendars for Wednesday evening. The Grand Traverse County Parks and Recreation department is bringing the 2026 World Tour Paddling Film Festival to Howe Arena in Traverse City. It's a great opportunity to see some incredible paddling content and connect with the local outdoor community.
On a more serious note, we want to remind residents about the ongoing flood situation affecting our region. Michigan has been dealing with persistent flood threats following days of heavy rain combined with rapid snowmelt. Governor Whitmer declared a state of emergency for Cheboygan County due to rising waters and concerns about the dam complex. Water levels in rivers throughout Michigan and Wisconsin continue to exceed their average limits, and officials expect the flood threat to persist over the next several days. If you're planning outdoor activities near water, please stay safe and heed all local warnings about debris in waterways.
In other local news, Grand Traverse County saw an unusual incident earlier this month when a traffic dispute escalated into a serious assault. A 70-year-old Traverse City man was arrested and charged with assault to do great bodily harm after allegedly attacking a driver with an ax at the Traverse Area District Library. The victim was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
