WELCOME Welcome to the 2025 Summer|Fall Edition of RESIDE! We’re delighted to welcome back our summer residents and look forward to another vibrant and memorable season here in beautiful Northern Michigan. This past winter brought an abundance of snow, followed by a severe ice storm that significantly impacted our community. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the linemen, emergency crews, and first responders whose tireless efforts helped restore power and stability under incredibly difficult conditions.

We’d also like to express our sincere gratitude to our long-time advertising partners for their continued support and a warm welcome to our newest advertisers: Audi Petoskey, Centerpointe Marine, Cottage Company, Down East Yachting, Drost Landscaping, Great Lakes Center for the Arts, Maple + Batter, Brandy’s Harbortown and NOMAD, O’Brien Harris, Salvatore’s and Vernales, Torch Lake Gallery, Tulips, and Walstrom Marine. These exceptional local businesses are leaders in their industries, and we encourage you to explore all they have to offer.

So, what’s happening in the real estate market? Inventory has increased slightly this spring across most price points, leading to a more balanced market between buyers and sellers. Home values remain strong overall. We are also seeing a surge in new condominium developments in and around Bay Harbor—most notably Village Heights, the newest addition to Bay Harbor’s luxury condominium offerings. Harbor Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to serve as the exclusive listing brokerage for this exciting project, which is slated to break ground mid-summer. Reach out to one of our team members to learn more.

As always, we’re excited for a summer season filled with family, friends, and community connection. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, we’d love to talk. Our partnership with Sotheby’s International Realty gives us access to an unmatched global network, allowing us to showcase your property to the world’s most discerning buyers. With our experience, resources, and dedication to excellence, we are here to help make your real estate journey seamless and successful.

Just a few of our team’s “favorite” summer activities in Northern Michigan: “I love the outdoors - Walloon Lake at our cottage, the Au Sable and Jordan for fly fishing, love golf and hiking all of the Walloon Lake Association and Conservancy trails.” - Eric Lohman “I enjoy boating, playing golf, gardening, collecting Petoskey stones, good meals with friends and gorgeous Up North sunsets.” - Connie Lenau “Kayaking!” - Bernie Schaffer “DJing and dancing.” - Parker Marshall “Young Americans Dinner Theatre at Boyne Highlands is a highlight of my summer. Love all the great music and arts festivals every weekend. Also enjoy visiting the charming local wineries”. - Michelle Denise “I enjoy taking my dog, and several golf balls (she loves them), to Sturgeon Bay.” - Kristin McDonald “One of my favorite things to do in Northern Michigan is to pack a picnic dinner, grab a couple of beach chairs, and head to one of the stunning State Parks to relax and enjoy a sunset meal by the water.” - Linda Parker “I enjoy living on our boat all summer with my fiancé.” - Chrissie Barron “I don’t have one favorite place in Northern Michigan or in my town of Harbor Springs. What does mean most to me are the landscapes that I pass as I drive or walk. Not just the view of the Harbor Springs Harbor, which is iconic, or the picture-perfect downtown, but on the back roads: the distant hills, the forests, the meadows and fields.” - Jenny Nolan “Strolling the miles of beaches & dunes at Sturgeon Bay north of Cross Village enjoying a day on the beautiful beach.” - Craig Stolzenfels “Golfing with a beautiful view of the water.” - Katharine Ross

Your Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra turns 25!

Right here. In your community.

Northern Michigan is defined by its natural beauty and its vibrant arts scene. People move here for it. Businesses thrive because of it. Communities grow stronger through it.

For 25 years, the Great Lakes Chamber Orchestra (GLCO) has been at the heart of that creative energy, bringing entertainment, education, and inspiration through the power of music.

2000 - 2025 From a Small Organization to a Cultural Institution After a two-year search, Dr. Libor Ondras was appointed Music Director, ushering in a new era of artistic growth and community connection.

What began as a small group of passionate musicians from Emmet County has grown into northern Michigan’s premier award-winning orchestra, bringing world-class performances and music education to families across seven counties.

Early Beginnings It all began in 2000, when Dr. Robert Pattengale envisioned a chamber orchestra as an outlet for local musicians who could come together and play for the love of music. In his words, the music wasn’t meant to entertain so much as to nourish the souls of those who played it—a passion that soon spread beyond the stage and into the community.

Early concerts were intimate performances supporting the development of youth orchestra. By 2001, the organization was officially formed and quickly gained momentum.

Despite the heartbreaking loss of music director Matthew Hazelwood in 2012, GLCO remained true to its mission.

28 | harborsir.com

Under Maestro Ondras’ leadership, GLCO’s season has grown into over thirty programs, expanded its MainStage series, and now features more than seventy musicians and forty chorus members. The orchestra has toured Europe, earned a Telly Award, and was selected to perform at the League of American Orchestras National Conference.

Based in Petoskey, GLCO performs year-round in eleven venues, including the state-of-the-art Great Lakes Center for the Arts in Bay Harbor, the historic John M. Hall Auditorium in Bay View, as well as college campuses, high school auditoriums, libraries, and churches, reaching communities from Charlevoix to Sault Ste. Marie.

“Every concert, school visit, and outreach program is thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique needs and spirit of our region,” says Maestro Ondras. GLCO presents symphonic works featuring world-class artists, choral-orchestral performances with local talent, ballet, opera, beloved traditions like Messiah, summer pops, intimate chamber recitals, and educational programs designed from preschoolers to lifelong learners. GLCO brings big-city artistic excellence to the heart of northern Michigan.

“Collaboration is at the heart of who we are,” says Maestro Libor Ondras. “Music has a unique ability to bring people together and create shared experiences that transcend words.”

Each season, GLCO unites musicians, singers, dancers, actors, visual artists, speakers, and composers—weaving their talents into multidisciplinary projects that reflect the richness and diversity of northern Michigan. In its 24th season alone, GLCO featured over 200 artists, bringing world-class artistry to our rural community so people don’t have to travel to major cities for these experiences.

O’Brien Harris is a manufacturer of handmade bespoke cabinetr y for ever y room in the home including kitchens, bars, butler’s pantries, primar y baths, dressing rooms, and paneled libraries. As we continue into 2025, we’re seeing an evolution in how homeowners think about kitchen functionalit y—bringing renewed at tention to the back kitchen, also known as the sculler y.

These highly functional, beautifully appointed secondar y spaces reflect a growing desire for order, organization, and seamless enter taining. Today’s sculler y is no longer hidden away—it’s an intentional, elevated space that complements the main kitchen in both st yle and utilit y.

With a growing demand for multifunctional living, sculleries are becoming essential in luxur y homes.

Whether used for food prep, catering, floral arranging, or as a quiet space for morning coffee, these hardworking rooms reflect our clients’ desire for beaut y without compromising practicalit y. At O’Brien Harris, our bespoke approach means ever y sculler y is as individual as the home it ser ves—timeless, functional, and built to last.

THE RISE OF THE SCULLERY With British origin and once considered purely utilitarian, the modern sculler y is designed with as much care as the main space. Equipped with secondar y sinks, dishwashers, refrigeration, and even ovens, these rooms handle prep, clean-up, and storage—keeping the primar y kitchen pristine during gatherings.

DESIGNED FOR ENTERTAINING

Sculleries are perfect for those who love to host. They allow caterers or family members to prepare and ser ve while keeping the main kitchen clear for guests. We of ten incorporate discreet cabinetr y, integrated appliances, and ample counter space to suppor t both ever yday use and larger events.

SMART STOR AGE, BEAUTIFUL DESIGN

In these secondar y spaces, we frequently design cabinetr y that accommodates small appliances, pantr y staples, and bulk storage—ensuring the primar y kitchen remains a clean, unclut tered showpiece. Our clients love incorporating larders, deep drawers, and tall cabinets tailored to their lifest yles. We of ten incorporate produce cubbies, which allow kids to see what nutritious things they can grab.

Spotlight Artist

Annie Russell

A

nnie Russell has been painting for private clients and designers for over 30 years. Her ​work has been featured in Northern Michigan galleries as well as regional publications.

Her paintings are acrylic on stretched canvas. The fabulous colors she selects for her pieces literally burst off the surface, as she brings beautiful landscapes of northern Michigan to life.

Birches at Sunset

Bridge is Up

Annie Russell currently splits her time between Charlevoix, Michigan and New Orleans, Louisiana.

The shores of The Great Lakes, the vastness of the Pine Forests, and the domed expanse of deep blue skies provide her endless inspiration.

Her heart skips a beat when she returns to her beloved New Orleans where music and color fill the air, and the night skies glow soft purple as she strolls the French Quarter.

Grand Flowers 42 | harborsir.com

Annie Russell is a long-time resident of Northern Michigan, having moved to Charlevoix full-time in the late 1980s when she began painting professionally for local interior decorators.

The colors, movement, and textures of the region provide endless inspiration for her work, which features bold brush strokes and vibrant use of color.

Architecture and landscapes are her favorite studies; she uses color to evoke not just the location but the feeling of the location as well.

When not painting, Annie can be found in her garden or working on her next novel.

A Seat with a View

Annie has 6 books published, including a memoir - Divine Interference, and the fantasy series, The Faerie Tale

Chronicles: The Changeling: A New Orleans Faerie Tale, The Journey Stone: A Charlevoix Faerie Tale, The Mirror Dance: A French Quarter Faerie Tale, and The Circle Call: a Witch’s Faerie Tale.

Forget Me Not All are available directly from the author, worldwide on the

web via Amazon, Barns and Noble, Waterstone, and at all independent booksellers near you.

For completed works that you are interested in seeing or to ask about commissioning a piece of art please email Annie. annie49720@yahoo.com.

Local Treasure Treasure Stafford’s Pointer Boat, Harbor Springs History of the Pointer Boat The space that’s now The Pointer Room at the Pier Restaurant in Harbor Springs, Michigan, is about as close to the water as it gets—because it used to be on the water. Until 1962, it was actually the boathouse for the Harbor Point Association’s water taxi, The Pointer, which ferried people between Harbor Point and downtown Harbor Springs. Since cars weren’t allowed on Harbor Point, this little boat was a big deal for getting around in the summer.

Over the years, there were three different boats—each one called The Pointer—that ran from 1930 to 1962. Today, you can see the restored version of The Pointer proudly on display right outside the Pier Restaurant, in the same spot where people used to hop on board to head to the Harbor Point Hotel.

Using old photos taken by Virgil Haynes, local boat builder Steve Van Dam spent seven months bringing The Pointer back to life. He stayed true to the original look—right down to the classic blue seats and side curtains—but also added a few fun extras, like a compass rose table, an ice box, and a sink, giving it a bit of a yacht vibe. Based on his research, Steve believes the original boat was built in Chassel, Michigan in 1934, with a painted wooden design influenced by Scandinavian style.

2025 pointer boat tickets now available! Tours will depart from the Pier Restaurant in downtown Harbor Springs. This tour hugs the shoreline of historic associations including Harbor Point and Wequetonsing. Tours can be catered by the Pier with hors d’oeuvres and beverages.

Stroll the Streets, Boyne City Boyne City’s Stroll the Streets began in 2004 when Boyne City Main Street started inviting musicians and entertainers to perform downtown on Friday nights during the summer. These performances grew into a popular, iconic event, sponsored by local businesses. It has become a wonderful community gathering, offering music, fun, and a chance to enjoy the downtown area.

The support from the Boyne Community businesses is what keeps these vibrant Friday evenings in the summer continue to grow and be so successful. Every week, a new lineup of musicians, and other performers gather on the sidewalks along both Lake and Water streets and entertain for three hours.

In its 21st year, the event has no signs of slowing down. The largest crowd of the year is normally during the “stroll” on the Friday before the Boyne Thunder fundraiser, where people can get a glimpse of the fabulous watercraft in the center of the street closures. The amazing vessels are truly works of art.

This year, the event will run every Friday evening from 6pm - 9pm, June 13 through August 29, 2025. Be sure to mark your calendars to join the fun by making it a “can’t miss event” this summer!

EAST JORDAN

Summer in Northern Michigan Northern Michigan in the summer is where time slows down and nature takes center stage. The air is warm but never heavy, carrying the scent of pine, dune grass, and bonfires. The crystal-clear freshwater lakes— like Lake Michigan, Walloon Lake, and Lake Charlevoix—are perfect for swimming, sailing, kayaking, or simply floating under the sun.

Mornings start with birdsong and the call of loons echoing across the water.

Farmers markets bustle with ripe cherries, blueberries, and handmade goods. By afternoon, small-town streets fill with the buzz of festivals, bike rides, and ice cream shops with lines out the door.

Golden hour lasts forever—casting a magical light over the dunes and shoreline. And when the sun finally dips below the horizon, the sky turns into a masterpiece of color—lavenders, oranges, and deep reds melting into night. Then the stars arrive, clear and unspoiled by city lights, blanketing the sky from horizon to horizon.

Whether you’re hiking in the Upper Peninsula, sipping wine at one of our many vineyards, watching fireworks over the bay, or gathered around a campfire with friends and s’mores—summer in Northern Michigan is where memories are made.

Fall in Northern Michigan

Blazing Foliage By late September into October, forests of sugar maple, oak, and birch explode in fiery shades of crimson, gold, and burnt orange. Drives along M-119’s Tunnel of Trees, the Old Mission Peninsula, or Leelanau County become unforgettable journeys through color.

Crisp Air & Cozy Vibes The air turns crisp and clean, smelling faintly of fallen leaves and woodsmoke. It’s sweater weather—perfect for bonfires, flannel shirts, and sipping cider by the lake.

Harvest Season Apple orchards, pumpkin patches, and roadside farm stands are everywhere. It’s prime time for cider tasting (hot or hard), doughnuts, and fresh pies—especially cherry and apple, the region’s staples.

Lakes & Stillness The Great Lakes and inland waters calm down. With fewer boats and quieter towns, places like Petoskey, Traverse City, and Charlevoix take on a peaceful, reflective charm.

Small-Town Festivals Fall festivals like Harbor Springs’ Festival of the Book or Charlevoix’s Apple Festival draw crowds for local art, music, and seasonal treats.
