Here Are 6 Small Michigan Towns That Look Straight Out Of A Holiday Movie

One Christmas store in Michigan stays open 361 days a year. It sprawls across seven acres and stocks more than 50,000 trims and gifts. I love that a place like that even exists. Then I learned about a town where draft horses pull a 30-foot Christmas tree down a riverside...

Grown-ups, Halloween is still for us! Here are three ways to celebrate in Petoskey on Saturday.

Interlochen’s Community Art Trail Underway

This fall, Interlochen began work on the Interlochen Community Art Trail, a 3.5-mile “non-motorized trail connecting parks, schools, campgrounds, neighborhoods, businesses, and cultural destinations throughout Interlochen,” per a press release from Interlochen Center for the Arts. The first phase included the construction and paving of a segment from Green Lake Township Memorial Park to Vagabond Rd., which was completed in late September. The portion of phase two (Interlochen State Park to the Betsie River) that is under contract is expected to be done by Nov. 15. Future phases to complete the trail are dependent on additional funding, as the project is expected to top $3 million. The trail is supported by a variety of local organizations, including Interlochen Downtown Development Authority, Green Lake Township, Interlochen Center for the Arts, and Friends of the Interlochen Community Art Trail.

Celebrity donors, executives supply cash to Michigan's midterm races

WASHINGTON — Celebrity donors have quietly poured money into Michigan's competitive midterm election races, albeit mostly on one side of the political aisle. Democratic candidates have received donations from artists and entertainers like comedic actor Danny DeVito , singer and actress Barbra Streisand and children's book author Judy Blume , while Republicans' most famous contributors are business and finance tycoons like Ross Perot Jr. and Ken Griffin . The latest round of donations became public in recent days after campaigns made mandatory federal disclosures. Those disclosures painted a consistent picture in Michigan and across the country: Individual donors gave more to Democratic candidates, but Republicans have an overall financial advantage thanks, in part, to dark money business entities that are not required to disclose the original source of funding. More: Tracking biggest donors, spending in Michigan's US Senate race In Michigan's record-breaking U.S. Senate race, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed of Ann Arbor ($30.7 million) more than tripled the third-quarter haul of Republican opponent Mike Rogers of White Lake Township ($9.7 million).
