The Bay View association in Emmet county is gearing up to host the biennial gathering of the International Hemingway Society in June.
The Organization was founded in 1965 by Ernest Hemingway's widow Mary.
Its goal is to promote the works and life of the late author.
This June between 450 and 500 Hemingway scholars and devotees will congregate in Bay View, along the beautiful shores of Little Traverse Bay, to celebrate the great Michigan author, Ernest Hemingway.
The international society meets every other year, alternating between a domestic and an international locale, each with some significance to Hemingway's life and work.
Bay View was chosen because when Hemingway was a child, his family vacationed in Walloon Lake every summer.
Bay View was a frequent stop on the Hemingway family's Northern Michigan itinerary.
Larry Ternan is the Bay View Board President
Bay View looks forward to hosting the Hemingway conference. It's an opportunity for the Bay View/Petoskey/Harbor Springs community to be exposed to scholars from around the world and to enjoy new ideas. We invite the community to join us in June.
The gathering is slated for June 17-21 on the Bay View grounds. A complete schedule of events is available at HemingwaySociety.org.
