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 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

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).
