McLeod will be keynote speaker at Awards Gala

Classic Instruments owner John McLeod will be the keynote speaker for the Boyne Chamber's Annual Awards Gala on January 16th. McLeod has built his automotive business from a one-man operation to a nationally recognized industry leader with 29 employees. He is a former winner of the Sally Roselli Business Leadership Award that will again be presented at this year's Awards Gala. McLeod was recently presented with the Hot Rod Industry Alliance's Industry Recognition Award at the annual Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association show in Las Vegas. A former Boyne City policeman who still works part-time for the department, McLeod has been called "the world's coolest cop" by the Hot Rod Network website. Here is a feature story on McLeod from the Petoskey News-Review.
