CADILLAC â Rain and 50-degree temperatures forecasted for later this week will mark the beginning of the end of a very busy winter for businesses that cater to snow and ice-related recreational activities.
Nick Bednarick, manager of Martin Powersports near Cadillac West, said this year has been different than a normal year in a number of respects, including the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the weather.
While the snowmobile business has been stagnant for several years in this part of Northern Michigan due to lack of snow accumulation, Bednarick said from the beginning of January to right about now, their phoneâs been ringing off the hook.
CADILLAC â From a motel, bowling alley and golf ball driving range to storage units â a lot has happened to the former Bill Oliverâs Resort property in Cadillac West over the last 10 years.
In July, downstate developer and owner of several other properties in Cadillac, Robb Munger, purchased property to the east of Cherry Grove Event Center off M-55.
For years, the property was home to Bill Oliverâs, a Cadillac area mainstay, before being sold and resold again as Cadillac Woods, Best Value and Rodeway Inn. In 2013, Rick Cushman Sr. purchased the property and demolished a portion of it, leaving only the conference center, which was renamed the Cherry Grove Event Center.
