Construction in Calumet was seen eight years ago today on the Pasty Cam.
Speaking of Calumet, congratulations to the Copper Kings Football team, traveling to Boyne City this weekend to face the Ramblers in the first battle of this year's Playoffs. Remember the bet between the Governor's of Michigan and California a couple of years ago? It ended with Mr. Schwartzenneger graciously devouring a delicious Pasty Central pasty.
Well, a similar wager has been made between the directors of the respective "Main Street" organizations in Boyne City and Calumet. If Calumet wins (of which we are supremely confident), Boyne City's Main Street Executive Director, Hugh Conklin, will humbly wear a Copper King's sweatshirt and crown while he is consoled with the U.P.'s most famous comfort food from Pasty Central. If the final score is in favor of Boyne City, Calumet's own Tom Tikkanen has agreed to submit to some equally humiliating abuse :o)
