betsiebay.net is designed to help you get more out of visiting or living in the area from Frankfort to Manistee to Empire to Traverse City - and maybe further.

We like things like music and art and books and food and the wide outdoors and all it offers in every time of year. We're interested in the growth in our area and work that's being done to channel it into a force that makes our lives better and preserves what we love about the area. We want to learn how folks are making their living, be it on the cutting edge or in the same trades as their grandparents.

In short, we're interesting in living in the place we love and making it better for those who come after us.

We're going to be posting items in every category - if there's nothing else here, there will be soon!
