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."
Carol O. Weaver Post of the American Legion helped to dedicate the fourth and existing (in 2019) Mitchell Street Bridge. My "Northern Mich~Mash Preserve" web site's Petoskey "Bridges and Dams" web page has additional information about this topic.
