ONEKAMA, MICHIGAN’S “OneKama OneFifty” CELEBRATION
Coincidently just a week before, the Postmaster General appointed a postmaster to an office at the newly named village of “Onekama”. 2021 is the sesquicentennial anniversary of these two events.
Through a series of activities and events based on Onekama’s 150 year anniversary, OneKama OneFifty will celebrate the Portage Lake Channel and the village of Onekama. Activities will feature boat races and water recreation events, historical tours and programs, arts and literary tie-ins, a gala dinner, and a formal dedication of the Portage Lake channel to Lake Michigan.
