(Michigan City, IN) - Michigan City has a new downtown events coordinator.

Johnny Stimley stepped down from the city council to take over the

position.

He’s helped with activities downtown and the lakefront as a volunteer

for many years.

Jack Arnett, executive director of the La Porte County Convention

and Visitors Bureau, said it’s exciting to hear from Stimley that his efforts will be focused

on the downtown and lakefront to enhance what LCCVB does in promoting that area.

Stimley has also been president of the Michigan City Zoological Society the past 15 to 20 years.
