1. Track & Field state champions crowned across Michigan (upnorthlive.com) — Charlevoix runners can celebrate as Charlevoix’s Hunter Eaton captured the Division 3 boys 1600-meter state title at the Lower Peninsula track finals. The roundup also notes strong performances by nearby schools like Elk Rapids, Frankfort, and others, underscoring how Northern Michigan athletes stacked up against the rest of the state. 
2. 10 Michigan Lakeside Getaways That Are Perfect For An Easy Escape (everafterinthewoods.com) — Charlevoix is spotlighted here as one of Michigan’s standout lakeside escapes, wrapped by Lake Michigan, Lake Charlevoix, and Round Lake for nonstop waterfront views and easy strolling downtown. The piece compares Charlevoix with other scenic Michigan towns, emphasizing relaxed parks, marina life, and Earl Young’s quirky mushroom houses as reasons to plan a simple, restorative getaway.
3. Traveling to Beaver Island this summer? Here are 2 ways to get there during airport closure (mlive.com) — If you’re heading between Charlevoix and Beaver Island this month, expect changes: Fresh Air Aviation is suspending its Charlevoix-based flights while Beaver Island Township Airport is repaved June 8–26. You can still reach the island via Island Airways flights from Charlevoix’s other airport or twice-daily Beaver Island Boat Company ferries from the Charlevoix dock.
4. Seniors on the T.A.R.T. Event Calendar Northern Express (northernexpress.com) — Charlevoix readers will notice a 6pm “No Charlevoix Data Center” event at the Charlevoix Public Library tucked into this Northern Express calendar. The main listing promotes weekly “Seniors on the T.A.R.T.” outings near Traverse City, but it also flags other northern Michigan happenings locals might travel for.
5. Michigan gas prices are dipping. Here's why the trend could soon reverse (mlive.com) — Charlevoix County is among the most expensive places in Michigan to fill up right now, with average gas prices around $4.69 per gallon. A recent dip may be short-lived, as tensions involving Iran and Israel could quickly push fuel costs higher again, so residents may want to budget and drive strategically this summer.
