Tibbits auction raises more than $100,000 to support theater programs

COLDWATER, MI — Tibbits Opera House relies on more than ticket sales to keep its stage lively, its historic building maintained, and its arts programs accessible to the community. The organization set a new single-event fundraising record on Saturday, Nov. 7. Tibbits' 47th Annual Auction, “Diamonds and Denim,” raised over $100,000 Saturday night. Proceeds from the auction help sustain the theater and its diverse programming. Executive Director Chris Delaney emphasized that fundraising is essential because ticket sales alone do not cover the cost of running the theater and presenting its programs. “Almost half of our income comes from community support,” Delaney said. “Most shows do not pay for themselves.” While Tibbits is best known for its professional summer theater, Delaney said its impact extends much further. The organization presents concerts, comedy, jazz, blues, classical music, movies, and visual arts exhibits. Youth programming includes Tibbits Young Audiences, which stages two productions each year and gives young performers experience in acting, singing, and dancing. Delaney said theater teaches children discipline, teamwork, and confidence in public speaking. The building also serves as a community venue, with local schools, community theatre, and other organizations using the space for productions and events. Delaney said this

4-H funding takes significant hit in draft budget for Hillsdale County

Proposed budget cuts for 2027 in Hillsdale County could reduce mental health programming and agricultural education, including 4-H, from the Michigan State University Extension . Mary Bowling of the MSU Extension told commissioners the potential loss would effectively amount to about a third of the organization’s budget during a meeting Nov. 10. “We’re not opposed to a cut, but a third of our budget would affect (our) ability to serve county residents,” she said. The tentative budget calls for a 17% reduction in funding based on the county’s memorandum of understanding, along with reductions involving a program coordinator for 4-H, according to Commissioner Brent Leininger. Bowling said the cuts could affect more than 4-H , including pesticide applicator education, mental health first aid, farm stress assistance and training under ServSafe. Nisha Ritchie, a retired educator and volunteer for 4-H, said reducing support for the coordinator position could have long-term consequences for young people in Hillsdale County. She said she's watched students grow from shy middle schoolers into confident leaders through 4-H. Without adequate coordinator support, she said, club leaders could have fewer resources and less guidance. Leininger said the municipality is facing difficult choices for 2027. The tentative general fund

Hudson, Britton Deerfield look to keep playoff runs alive in crucial Week 12 matchups

Hudson and Springport met on the gridiron for the first time last season. By halftime, the Tigers knew they were regional champions. On Friday, for the second straight year, Hudson (10-1, 1st in LCAA) will host Springport (10-1, 1st in Big 8) at Thompson Field with a regional title on the line. Beckett Campbell stole the show last time around. The running back had a career night with 14 carries for 359 yards and five touchdowns to lead the Tigers to a 68-22 win over the Spartans as a sophomore. Campbell, now a junior, will lead Hudson once more against the Big 8 Conference champions. Springport retained momentum from its program-best 11-1 season in 2025. The Spartans ran the table with an undefeated 8-0 record in conference play. Their only loss this season came in Week 3, a 42-13 loss to top-ranked Beal City. Last season, Springport’s offense was led by senior quarterback Gibson Overweg. His younger brother, sophomore Rip Overweg, has since filled his shoes. Rip has led a Spartan offense that prides itself on running the ball and making high-percentage throws. Last week, he accounted for four total touchdowns in Springport’s 34-22 district final win over Decatur. “[Overweg]
