Sanilac County 4-H Fair: Celebrating Future Leaders
We had an incredible time connecting with families, cheering on the young participants, and honoring the dedication of everyone involved in the Sanilac County 4-H Fair. It's truly inspiring to witness the next generation of leaders building skills and confidence right here in our community. As the headline sponsor for the tractor pull, we were thrilled to celebrate alongside our own Highline employee's son, who took home first place—what a proud moment!

FIRST RESPONDER OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Ernie Kilgus: Our First Responder of the Month in the Thumb!
Our first responder for August is a legend in the thumb, please join us in honoring Ernie Kilgus!!
“When he joined in his early 30s,(1971) he was helping a shorthanded fire. After 39 years as Elk Township Fire Chief, Ernie Kilgus of Peck recently stepped down, but not away, from the department. His title is safety officer now.
He’s an extremely selfless man that has brought several hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant money to Elk Township. His dedication over the years to anything I’ve ever seen in a small town department”
Thank you for all that you do!
FIRST RESPONDER OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to Ernie Kilgus: Our First Responder of the Month in the UP!
First Responder of the Month for September is Josh Thoune from Mid-County Rescue.
Josh has been a volunteer firefighter in for 12 years, Medical First Responder 6 years, 5 years as an EMT, and a paramedic for the last two years. He also continues to volunteer his time to Cedarville and Stephenson Fire Departments. Josh has also been the First Responder Director for Mid-County Rescue for the last two years where he runs all of the daily operations as well as responding to calls when he can.
The best part of the job for Josh are all of the volunteers that always show up when needed. The most difficult part are the hard calls, the trauma’s and the families when they lose someone. Being in a small area it’s usually someone in the department either knows and/or are related to.
Like so many other volunteer fire and rescue units, Josh feels that being a first responder gives him a higher sense of purpose to know you’re helping out and giving back to his community.
Mid-County Rescue is doing a fundraiser to fund their new building by selling bricks. If you’re interested in helping their cause please contact Josh.
Outside of Mid-County Rescue, you will find Josh spending time at their family property, hunting, traveling with his wife and spending time with his two sons.
If you see Josh today, please tell him Thank You!
CONGRATULATIONS JOSH!

906 Festival Fun with Highline
Highline joined the party at the annual 906 Festival in Curtis, MI! From vibrant vendors to live music and a lively beverage tent, we were there connecting with the community. While many shopped local and grooved to the tunes, our team shared how Highline’s lightning-fast fiber internet keeps you streaming, gaming, and working without a hitch.
Curtis Sidewalk Sales: Highline Connects the Deals!
Highline hit the streets for the Curtis Sidewalk Sales, where local businesses rolled out unbeatable deals and residents turned garages into bargain goldmines. While you hunted for treasures, our team was on hand, chatting about how Highline’s blazing-fast fiber internet powers your online shopping, streaming, and more.
Highline Hits the Chippewa County Fair
Highline made a splash at the Chippewa County Fair, introducing our blazing-fast fiber internet to this area! As we kick off work in the county, the fair was the perfect spot to connect with excited locals eager to ditch slow connections. Crowds lined up to share their info for updates on when Highline goes live. Want to stay in the loop? Visit us online and get ready for internet that’s fair-worthy reliable!
Waterfront Art Festival
We partnered with the Bonifas Arts Center by sponsoring the Waterfront Art Festival in beautiful Ludington Park, Escanaba, MI. The park was filled with artist vendors, food vendors and local music by the City Band and Andy Crispigna at Karas Bandshell during the festival.
So much creativity including handmade goods like goat soap, hand died yarn, lavender farm goods, wooden toys for kids, young artist market, oil painted masterpieces and stunning photos. Delicious eats and treats by food vendors like Wildman’s Munchies and ice cream from Sticky Fingers were enjoyed by all.
Bark River Off Road Rumble
We believe that fast trucks and fast internet go together like peanut butter and jelly. 2025 was our third consecutive year to partner with the Bark River Lions Club to bring fast paced off road dirt track racing to Bark River, MI. Thousands of race fans and teams flock to Bark River for one weekend a year that’s filled with racing for all ages, food, music and beverages.
Highline proudly sponsors superstock truck driver, Braden Beauchamp, 170 Class Youth racer, Lainey Gearhart and youth Keegan Gearhart in his Rzr 1000. Bark River racing never disappoints unless mother nature decides your racing day is done by sending several rounds of rainstorms. The rain didn’t stop our VIP Suite crew from having a good time. We also hosted a Highline VIP Suite watch party where several Highline crew and family members plus two lucky customers enjoyed the races in comfort, food and beverages. The VIP experience is one of our favorite traditions. One of our Highline family members won the 50/50 jackpot Sunday! Congrats Amber!
UP State Fair
Fair fever hit hard with midway munchies, rides, and non-stop fun. Our booth stole the show: live fiber splicing demos, cornhole showdowns, and our spin-to-win wheel doling out Highline swag, kiddo bubbles, and candy hauls. We fielded questions, hooked up new sign-ups, eased concerns, and soaked in raves from fans loving their rock-solid internet. Two storms? Our tents stood tall, sheltering fairgoers and proving Highline's as dependable as ever—rain or shine. See you in 2026!
