Hemingway in Horton Bay
Stuff We Love
By Ross Boissoneau | July 13, 2024
It’s a birthday party for one of America’s great authors, and everyone’s invited! On July 21, the Horton Bay School will host a party for Ernest Hemingway, born that day in 1899. Attendees will also learn about a new garden at the Bay Township Hall which will be home to the bronze sculpture “Young Boy and the Stream” inspired by Hemingway’s life as a youngster. The sculpture will be unveiled next year by the nonprofit The Friends of Ernest Hemingway in Horton Bay. It was created by the late Martha Sulfridge of Boyne City, showcasing a Hemingway not often seen—the young boy who came of age in the area, as he battles an enormous fish. The organization is working with Wagbo Farm & Education Center to raise $48,500 for the statue’s enlargement, bronzing, treatment, and installation. Learn more at wagbo.org.
