A2 siblings create
signery after storm
‘U’ student, brother
creates signs from
materials wrecked
in windstorm
After a straight-line windstorm
carrying up to 100 miles per
hour winds devastated Northern
Michigan on Aug. 2, 2015, Ann
Arbor siblings Bella and Zack Pryor
felt inspired to take action. They
started making wooden signs out
of the old fences, broken docks and
scraps of wood found in Glen Arbor
and selling them — thus creating
MichAgain Signery.
Bella, a Business sophomore at
the University of Michigan, and her
younger brother Zach, a junior at
Pioneer High School, spend about
three months each summer in Glen
Arbor with their family. When the
windstorm hit, they felt its impacts
first-hand.
“We’ve been coming up to Glen
Arbor, Michigan since we were
born basically,” Bella Pryor said.
“After the storm, there were a lot of
trees down and just a lot of general
devastation on the hiking trails and
bike trails.”
Bella Pryor said wood such as
docks, fences and farm structures
had been damaged during the
storm, and they did not want to let
it all go to waste.
“We just decided to get a trailer
and just load up some wood and
bring it home,” she said.
The Pryor siblings had an idea
to use the wood from the storm to
make wood signs representing the
parts of Glen Arbor most special to
them using design and art.
“What inspired us to make the
signs in particular rather than other
wood products was so that we could
use art as a way to also express the
beautiful areas that are in Northern
Michigan,” Bella Pryor said.
Attendees
participated in
book swap, family
friendly events
The Ypsilanti Freighthouse
hosted
the
first
annual
Booksilanti Readers’ Fair on
Saturday.
The
day-long
fair
featured book swaps, a market
for local book shops and authors
and child-friendly activities like
story times and a bookmark-
making station.
Black
Stone
Bookstore
&
Culture
Center,
located
in
downtown Ypsilanti, was one of
the vendors at the event. As an
African-American bookstore and
cultural center, Black Stone sells
books about African-American
diaspora. The store also houses
Black Men Read, a literacy
program that works to normalize
Blackness and highlight the
cultural contributions of Black
people
through
literature.
Owner Kip Johnson said as an
Ypsilanti native, he was thrilled
at the chance to be a part of
Booksilanti.
“How could I not be a vendor?”
Johnson said. “Anything that’s
dealing with literacy programs,
dealing with Ypsilanti, you’ve
got to come and support.”
Jessica Tapley, an attendee
of the fair and self-proclaimed
book lover, said she came to see
the bookstores and artists and
support vendors. She echoed
Johnson’s sentiments about the
fair being a space that highlights
Ypsilanti’s
community
and
culture.
“I thought it was really cool,”
Tapley said. “I just like seeing
the community of book lovers in
Ypsi.”
According to Julie Palmer,
the assistant events manager at
the Ypsilanti Freighthouse and
School of Literature, the event
was meant to evoke the sense of
community Johnson and Tapley
both felt. Palmer, a University of
Michigan alum, explained while
a love of literature underlines
Booksilanti, she wanted the
event to reflect the diversity in
Ypsilanti’s communities.
“In true, unique Ypsi style,
we wanted to highlight the best
and brightest from our own
community,” Palmer said. “There
began some fun brainstorming
and just new ideas about how
we could celebrate many aspects
that are tied to a love of books,
whether
it’s
reading
books,
buying books… All of that was
what we wanted to bring here.”
Palmer also hopes Booksilanti
will help draw the already
close-knit Ypsilanti community
together.
“My personal hope is that
they experience joy, community,
connection, and that we continue
to fuel their love of reading, their
love of books,” Palmer said.
