Annual Christmas Tree Lighting
The annual Christmas tree lighting took place on Saturday, November 18th around 5:30pm near the Topinabee Library. The weather was chilly, but much better than last year’s snowstorm, so the event was well-attended. Of course, that was practically guaranteed anyway, since Santa was once again present to talk with all of the children. Refreshments included hot cider and designer cookies from several local bakers.
The tree itself is quite beautiful, and be lit throughout the holiday season, so enjoy it whenever you pass by.
2023 Topinabee SummerFair & Market
The second annual Topinabee SummerFair & Market was held on July 29, 2023 from 9am to 3pm at the Topinabee Park and Pavilion. The weather was ideal (sunny and about 80 degrees), and like last year, the event was very well-attended..
This year’s SF&M featured some excellent live music, more than a dozen craft vendors, two yummie food trucks, plus games and activities for kids—and one of the fire engines was present for them as well. Of course the park is directly adjacent to both Topinabee Beach and the wonderful Topinabee Library, so there was something there for everyone.
Our thanks to all who attended. Hope to see you again next year!

The 2023 annual TDA meeting was held on August 26, 2023 at 10am. Due to a scheduling conflict, it was held outside at the Topinabee Library, but fortunately the weather cooperated. A link to the minutes from the meeting are available below:

A Happening At The Library
On July 25th, Story Time at the Topinabee Library turned into a happening. It was rumored that the beach in front of the library might be visited by a mermaid at that time.
Well, if this was intended to generate interest, it certainly succeeded. Literally hundreds of kids and parents showed up to see this rare phenomenon—as this photo can attest:
Unfortunately, subsequent searches of Mullett Lake failed to find any further evidence of the mermaid…
