White Lake Area Chamber & Visitors Bureau

💧🚴 Today there was a ribbon cutting and dedication of the new Paul Kissel Hydration Station along the bike path (just outside of the Chamber of Commerce depot).

This lasting tribute will serve cyclists, walkers, runners, and even pups with a drinking fountain, bottle fill station, and dog bowl. This week alone, we at the Chamber have had a front row seat of seeing people out enjoying it!

This collaborative project was made possible by the Muskegon County Bike Coalition, White Lake Snow Farmers, generous community donors, and the incredible installation work of the City of Whitehall DPW.

Thank you to the community and to Representative VanderWall for joining us and showing support!

🌸 Petunia Patrol is back! 🌸

The hanging baskets are up, the Depot flowers are planted, and our Petunia Patrol volunteers will begin making their rounds this week to help keep White Lake blooming beautifully all summer long.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped make flower day a success:
💚 City of Montague DPW & City of Whitehall DPW
💚 Kara & Noah from CatchMark Technologies
💚 John (former Chamber Husband) & Amy VanLoon
💚 Rick Ware (current Chamber Husband)
💚 Chamber team members Steph & Liv

It truly takes a village to bring this colorful tradition to life each year.

Weesies Bros. Garden Centers & Landscaping grows these beautiful flowers each year, and this year they made them extra special in honor of America's 250th anniversary celebration. Even better, these blooms showcase local Montague pride: grown by Weesies, with plant tags produced by MasterTag right here in Montague.

Thank you to all of our volunteers and partners for helping keep White Lake beautiful. Be sure to give our Petunia Patrol crews a wave when you see them out and about this summer! 🌺☀️
