Text Accompanying Photo Above: "Bobsledding was a popular sport in Petoskey back in the 1920s on giant sleds such as this of Carl O. Weaver Post, 194, American Legion. Bobsleds used to zip down Mitchell-st. in the days when most cars were laid up with the first ice. Identified from the left in this photo belonging to Wilson J. 'Mac" McDonald are: Arthur 'Westie' West, Charles Henika, Fred Schmitt, Zalman Fryman, Bert Nutting, Harold Guillaume, Alexander 'Dub' Worden, Ray George, Henry Boehm, John Laggis, George John, Dr. Charles J. Gray, Gordon Feather, John Ulberg, Lasey Sergent and 'Mac'. The little boy wasn't identified. If all got on this sled, there would be 16 men and a boy aboard."

The 5 March 2022 Petoskey News Review reported about "Petoskey's American Legion Post
Announces New Programs".
Announces New Programs".
The new programs were developed to better serve area veterans through the use of the American Legion Building at 455 Bay Street, Petoskey, Michigan. Veterans do not have to be members of the American Legion Post to join in the activities. Brian Morrison emphasized "MWR" for the veterans; acronym for "Morale, Welfare, and Recreation". Various activities will include playing cards, board games, ping-pong, indoor corn hole, or pool, or choose from a selection of movies to watch. If those do not appeal, just having a place to meet and talk with other veterans will be available. With no liquor license at the post, veterans are invited to bring their own beverage or snack. Coffee and bottled water will be available. The camaraderie of those with similar experiences is hoped to reduce the veteran suicide rate.
Phil Babcock, a veteran service officer employed and accredited through the American Legion Department of Michigan will be at the post every Tuesday usually between 9AM > 4PM. It is recommended to call 231-590-6200 for an appointment.
