SUMMARY:OneKama OneFifty
DESCRIPTION: ONEKAMA\, MICHIGAN’S  “OneKama OneFifty” CELEBRATION\n \n150 years ago\, Onekama\, Michigan had its official start.  The wildly fascinating story of “The Cut” is an iconic and life-altering event that shaped Onekama.  The local homesteaders\, tired of conflict with the Porter Lumber Milling Company whose dam at Portage Creek flooded farmland\, took matters literally into their own hands. Illegally hand digging a small trench from Lake Michigan to Portage Lake to lower the lake to its original depth\, the homesteaders created a fantastic spectacle! On the night of May 14\, 1871 when the trench was completed\, the water rushed out taking with it woods and sand and creating a channel 500 feet wide and 12 feet deep. This channel brought great opportunity for the homesteaders and the mill and remains to this day an integral part of the Onekama community.\n \n\nCoincidently 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. \n\n\nThrough 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. \n“OneKama OneFifty” CELEBRATION Events  \nJune 11: Onekama Lions’ Community Dinner with John Wemlinger’s debut of The Cut\, Historical Stories\, and Games.
