Meeder told the City Commission that "Boyne Thunder 2015 was another resounding success. Total revenue and boater participation in 2015 was up 10% over prior year." Based on a survey of the 108 participants, there were many wonderful comments about the event - with the common theme being the welcoming nature of the people and the community. "I would like to acknowledge the dedicated volunteers who literally provide thousands of hours of work to pull off this extraordinary event," Meeder said. "I would also like to thank Bob Alger for his thoughtful and steady leadership of this event. He keeps all the pieces and parts of this moving forward in a flawless manner throughout the year and I am amazed by his dedication."
