Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

Each year an event that celebrates the document which makes our Republic is held in Northern Michigan with 500-1000 attendees.

The Constitution was signed September 17, 1787. The Constitution Celebration Event is TODAY (September 15) from 1-5, with main stage activities, a children's room, and education hall. This year is the third annual event, and also includes a classic car show outdoors with awards for 'Best American Car', 'Best British Car', and of course 'best in show.'

After the event, there is a short break until 6PM for the Founding Fathers and Mothers dinner which is used as a fundraising effort to support event activities. This years honored Founding Father And Mother will be Jim and Ida Tompkins of Traverse City. A video presentation will be shown during the affair.

Also During the dinner we will announce our 'Grand Defender' award, which goes to a previously recognized Constitution Defender an award given to a selected member of the community for work on behalf of and consistent with the premise of constitution.

Our special Keynote Speaker for the dinner this year is Norman R Hughes.

Tickets MAY still be available to those who wish to attend. If coming to the dinner and have not already made arrangements for tickets, please come to the show early and ask. The event is held at the Williamsburg Dinner Theater in Acme.
