West Shore Bank Donates to Macabre Manistee County

Kim Malstrom and Jordan Solowiej of West Shore Bank present a check to
Vince Hancock, John Kaser and the Gatekeeper of Macabre Manistee County

West Shore Bank has teamed up with Macabre Manistee County to promote a variety of spooky and family-friendly events this October. With the Manistee branch's donation of $500, the non-profit organization will be able to expand its promotional work with new forms of advertising and other types of outreach. 

Gatekeeper Wakes Up Tomorrow

The Gatekeeper comes out of hibernation tomorrow (Saturday) at 10:49am!  Keep your eye on him here (see right column, below) and at Gatekeeper's Twitter page.  You can also befriend him on his Facebook page.  (The Manistee County Sheriff has asked us to advise you that you do so at your own risk.)  

We've been testing his crude communications system over the last couple of days.  It looks like we're set to go.  We are unsure if it will be worth 15 trips to Radio Shack.
