Its hard to believe summer is over and autumn is here.
Leaves are starting to change, weather is getting crisp
and Halloween is just around the corner. That means that
local businesses like, Geers Farm Pumpkin Patch near
McBain, Pahls Pumpkin Patch near Buckley, Flower
Bucket Farm near Paris, and Norman Farms in Tustin
are gearing up for some fall fun.
What better time to head out and enjoy the season as
well as pick up a pumpkin and other fall decorations?
You can get lost in a corn maze or sample some delectable
doughnuts and apple cider. For those who think thatsounds like a perfect weekend afternoon, youre in luck,
because the Cadillac area has four pumpkin patches from
which to choose.
Geers Farm Pumpkin PatchOnce again, Missaukee County residents and visitors
will be able to enjoy picking out the perfect pumpkin at
Geers Farm near McBain.
Every weekend in October from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., the
pumpkin patch at the farm will be open.
People can pick a pumpkin, get some cider and home-
made doughnuts and purchase straw bales and corn
stalks for decorations. There are farm animals for chil-
dren to pet, a hay stack for kids to climb and a corn maz
to explore.For more information about the pumpkin patch, call

Pahls Pumpkin PatchPahls Pumpkin Patch in Buckley also will again be
open for business offering all of your fall favorites.
The patch, located across from the Buckley Old Engine
Show grounds, has been open for more than 10 years and
will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
beginning Sept. 28. The patch will be open through Hal-
loween.There are farm animals for children to see, corn mazes
to explore, a straw maze for children, pony rides, a goat
walk, and pumpkins, squash, straw, gourds, Indian corn
and corn stalk bundles for sale and more. On the week-
ends, there are hay rides and a concession stand. Admis-
sion to the corn mazes is free.
For more information, call (231) 269-4400 or (231) 620-
1242, or log on to www.pahlspumpkinpatch.com. Pahls
Pumpkin Patch is located at 11168 N. M-37 in Buckley.
Flower Bucket FarmBrooke Whipple and her husband, David, moved from
Alaska two years ago this fall and opened the farm. While
they enjoyed the summer growing season and the flowers
they sold, they know it is time to think about autumn.
They plan to have a pumpkin patch this year, but the
late start to the growing season has left things in doubt.
In addition to pumpkins, Whipple said the supply of
gourds and perhaps some dried corn stalks, Indian Corn
and an assortment of fall and Halloween decorations ar
also in limbo. Still, she is remaining hopeful.
The farm is open seven days a week, from dusk until
dawn, and the pumpkin patch is self-serve through Octo
ber.The farm is located between Paris and Reed City, thre
miles west of Northland Drive (Old 131) at 23834 Meceol
Road. For more information, log onto www.flowerbucke
farm.com.
Norman FarmsIn early September Norman Farms in Tustin was fin-
ishing up the summer growing season with sweet corn
and tomatoes, but now pumpkins are the biggest pro-
duced harvested.
In addition to the pumpkins, Norman Farms also has
Indian Corn, gourds and dried corn stalks. The farm is
open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week. The farm i
located four miles west of U.S. 131 exit 168 at 22735 20 Mi
Road. More information can be found online at www.no
manfarms.webs.com or by calling (231) 429-6191
You know where the pumpkin patch-
es are but how do you know which
pumpkin will make the best jack-o-
lantern?
Dont worry, there are things you canlook for that will help you pick the
perfect pumpkin depending on what
type of carving you want to do. From
simple faces, stencil patterns to elabo-
rate design there is a pumpkin that
is perfect for you and your family, ac-
cording to tips from the Farmers Al-
manac.
The rst step to nding the right
pumpkin is deciding on the design you
want to carve. Depending on the size
and shape of your design, you may
need a tall narrow pumpkin or a shortround one.
Smaller pumpkins are suitable
for carving simple traditional jack
olantern faces.
Medium sized pumpkins are good se-
lections for most stencil patterns.
For more intricate and elaborate de
signs, you may want to choose a larg
pumpkin so it will be easier to carve
A pumpkin with a smooth surface w
give you the best working canvas. The pumpkin should be at on the
bottom so it will not roll.
Avoid pumpkins with scratches, nick
cuts, and dents unless they will en-
hance your design.
Pass up pumpkins with bruises since
these will decay faster.
Lighter colored pumpkins are norm
ly softer, making carving easier.
Look for a ripe pumpkin with a stur
stem. Do not carry the pumpkin by
its stem to avoid breaking it. If the
stem does break off, it can be patchback using toothpicks. If your perfec
pumpkin is missing its stem, instead
carving out a lid on top, simply carve
out the bottom. Place a candle on th
carved out section, and then set the
pumpkin over it.

Open Skate Every weekend 2-4 pm
The area boosts a variety of natural trails including
the Heritage Nature Trail, Cadillac Pathway, Mackenzie
Trail, White Pine Trail, the North Country Trail and Big
M.
The Heritage Nature Trail
Ed Shaw, park interpreter for the Department of Natu-
ral Resources, said the bridges and boardwalks of the
Heritage Nature Trail are a popular location for hikers
during the fall months. The 2.5 mile Heritage Nature
Trail starts at the Carl T. Johnson Hunting and Fishing
Center. The wetlands trail also gives tourists an up-close
look at area wildlife.
The Heritage Nature Trail has several different types
of habitat. You are going to see some maple trees, a few
beech trees and some oak trees, Shaw said. There is
also a viewing platform and high rises that make for ex-
cellent fall photos.
Cadillac Pathway
Cadillac Pathway is an 11.3 miles groomed hike, bike
and ski trail with six loops. The trail is located on Boon
Road, just off U.S. 131. Cadillac Pathway has two trail-
heads, one off Boon Road east of Cadillac near the Clam
River and the other by the Wexford-Missaukee ISD Ca-
reer Technical Center.
North Country Trail and Big MThe North Country Trail and the Big M are two trails
where outdoor enthusiasts can also get a peep of fall
colors in the area. Maps for the trail are Huron-Manistee
National Forest website. The North Country Trail and
Big M are located between Cadillac and Manistee within
the National Forest System. The Big M trail, located on
M-55 between Cadillac and Wellston, offers about 40 miles
of hiking in the fall.
Joy VanDrie, Executive Director of the Cadillac Area
Visitors Bureau, said Northern Michigans nearby na-
tional forests allow fall color tour hikers to see a plethora
of fall foliage.Our national forests have all the reds, golds and or-
anges tourists love to see. You will see a full spectrum of
fall colors in Northern Michigan, VanDrie said. There
are some really nice rolling hills in the area and you will
see some really nice colors this time of year.

EVART This fall, kids and kids-at-heart in the Evart
area can checkout several autumn activities centered
around All Hallows Eve.
For those that love ghosts and goblins (or just a chance
to dress up and collect some candy) there are two eve-nings of fall fun.
Evart kicks off with an early chance to dress up, walk
picturesque Riverside Park East and see the way the
town turns into a happy haunt.
The event takes place Monday, Oct. 27 from 7 to 9 p.m.
The admission fee for adults is $5 and for children 12
years old and under, admission is $3. All proceeds go to
the Evart Parks and Recreation and the citys Fourth of
July Celebration.
Last year was the first time the city held the haunted
park, and the success in numbers of attendees, reviews
from families and by raising nearly $1,000 for the town to
hold more family events, led to this years encore event.
This ghostly time is fun for the whole family.
It turned out to be a fantastic event and everyone
seemed to really have a great time, said organizer Eric
Schmidt, who points out the event is meant to delight and
thrill, not scare and chill.
We leave out the demonic and dark. The actors the
walkers will see arent there to make kids cry, it is mean
to be fun for everyone, said Schmidt.
The Halloween celebration continues on Halloween
night, where Evarts Monster Main Street Mash opensfor trick or treating. The citys Halloween event will tak
place Friday, Oct. 31 from 5 to 7 p.m. along Evarts Main
Street.
The block will be closed so families and children can
trick-or-treat safely. Businesses will open their doors to
the youngsters, handing out candy and other goodies.
Vendors will set up booths on the sidewalk, making fo
plenty of trick or treating in a short amount of time.
Schmidt said both businesses and families look forwa
to this event, which will set the scene with fun music an
plenty of other activities.
It allows a safe, fun place for families to bring their
children and collect lots of candy in a short amount of
time, said Schmidt.
There will be music, games and prizes, so break out
those costumes and head downtown to the annual Mon-
ster Main Street Mash and Mixer. For more information

CADILLAC Rosy-cheeked youngsters and their par-
ents braved the elements and cold temperatures last year
to witness the lighting of the Cadillac City Park tree and
get their picture taken with Santa Claus.
This year, the annual Christmas in the Park event willallow those families the same opportunity. The event
moved last year from Lake Street to the Rotary Perform-
ing Arts Pavilion in Cadillac City Park and will be held
there again this year. Rev. Dave McMahon said the event
will pretty much be like it was in 2013.
As in past years, carols will be sung, vendors will be
selling hot chocolate and, of course, Santa Claus will
make an appearance. In previous years Santa has ar-
rived aboard a boat, last year he arrived via a car and w
again this year. The hope is it will make it easier for mo
people to see his arrival.
For years, the city has kicked off the holiday season
with the event in the park, but a few years ago, a newtheme was incorporated Storybook Christmas. The
event has taken classic holiday tales such as The Polar
Express and used them as a theme.

For the past two years, free
books were given to each
child who came to see Santa.
In 2012, the book entitled,
Oh, What A Christmas was
used. Last year Tustin author
Doreen Bellevilles book,
Too Fat To Fly was given
away to the children. McMa-
hon said this year each child
who sees Santa will get a sack
filled with candy as well as
a DVD that depicts the lifeof Jesus. Only one video per
household so if you have mul-
tiple children only one video
will be given.
Its the Friday night after
Thanksgiving and people
are home. After sitting home
watching football and eating,
come out and check it out,
McMahon said.
With weather always a toss
up that time of year, McMa-
hon said the event is a gorain, shine or snow, but added
the pace should be a little
quicker in case it is cold.
The event is scheduled to
start at 5:30 p.m. on Nov. 28.
Even ifweather is

of the areas most anticipated holiday fundraising events.
This year they take place in November.
Proceeds from the annual Festival of Dreams and
Breakfast with Santa support the Habitat mission to
help low-income, working families realize the American
Dream of home ownership.
Habitat Festival of DreamsFormerly known as the Festival of Trees, the popular
Habitat fundraising gala is now called the Festival of
Dreams to better represent the Habitat mission.
We pulled our group together to define what this festival
is all about, explained Cindy Hamner, event chairman.
Our purpose is to build homes and help people realize the
American Dream. Thats why we renamed the event.
The formal event will include dinner, dancing and din-
ing at Fox Hill Event Center. Cocktails will be served at 6
p.m. with dining at 6:45 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 8. There wilbe live and silent auctions with something for everyone,
including private meals catered by a chef, wine, and some
restored items donated by creative members of the com-
munity. Beautiful gift baskets will also be on display and
available.
Breakfast with SantaSanta arrives at 9 a.m. on Saturday morning, Nov. 22.
He will park his sleigh at the Cadillac Grill and spend th
morning greeting children, listening to their Christmas
wishes and sharing gifts with them. Santa also loves all
the fun activities. As a craft project, children will build
their own gingerbread houses to take home. There are
door prizes and a 50/50 raffle. This year Ryan and Nicole
Schultz, the owners of Toy Town, will be the emcees.

TUSTIN Get ready to make your list and check it
twice because Santa and his elves are coming to town a
little early this year.
The 33rd annual Kettunen Center Breakfast with Santa
is set to bring some holiday cheer to families on Saturday,
Dec. 13 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Claus will be in
Tustin listening to holiday wishes.
The holiday event features live music from Mulligan
Stew, face painting and a craft room filled with more thana half-dozen activities, including ornament making and a
holiday letter writing station.
Nearly 100 volunteers from local schools and area busi-
nesses work to bring the holiday event to the center each
year.
Laura Jacobson, program education coordinator, said
the breakfast has become a tradition for families who
have visited Mr. and Mrs. Claus each year since the even
began.
A lot of people that visit with their children also re-
member seeing Mr. and Mrs. Claus here when they were
children, Jacobson said. Its very rewarding to see the
same faces each year.
The event costs $3 for adults and $1 per child, and res-
ervations are required. About 1,200 guests come to the
center to enjoy the holiday celebration each year.
Jacobson said the addition of new activities through-
out the years have made the breakfast a special momentfor local families.
Some kids are excited about seeing Santa this year a
others really like taking holiday ornaments home from
our craft room. Theres really something for everybody.
Reservations can be made by calling the Kettunen Cen
ter at (231) 829-3421. Reservations begin Dec. 1.
Make sure your list is set,
because Santa is returningto the Kettunen Center

REED CITY With the turkey and trimmings still
cooling in the fridge following Thanksgiving, Reed City
wastes no time turning the city in to a winter wonder-
land.
The holiday season arrives complete with the welcom-
ing of Santa and Mrs. Claus, their elves and even real
reindeer, direct from the North Pole.
For everyone that enjoys the Thanksgiving weekend
Evergreen Festival, there is a different answer about
what the highlight of the action-packed weekend is.
The thing is, people love the things they know they get
to see and do every year, like the huge Christmas craft
show, or the parade and cookie decorating with the elves,
or visiting with Santa, said Reed City Chamber of Com-
merce Executive Director Suzie Williams. For others, it
is how we do try to mix it up with new ideas every year.
Folks can plan on the highly anticipated craft show
to take place Friday, Nov. 28 and Saturday, Nov. 29. with
more than 100 different booths expected. The craft show
takes place inside the halls of Reed City High School
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 28 and 29.
On Saturday, Reed City ushers in the holiday season
with a parade, meet and greet with the Claus family, a
chance to meet a real reindeer, or hop inside the citys
gingerbread house to decorate cookies with the elves.
Meanwhile, as the little ones enjoy the Santa time,
the thrill lovers can head to the other side of town for
Santas Sleigh Race.
The parade will take place downtown at 1 p.m. fea-
turing floats, music and the arrival of Santa and Mrs.
Claus.
Right after the parade, Santa will set up shop at the
Reed City Depot until 3 p.m. for visits with children an
to watch over the cookie making.
Meanwhile, following the parade, Santas friends, the
Reed City Fire Association, will hold the inaugural Ev
ergreen Festival Sleigh Bed Race.For more information on the race or to register, visit
www.reedcityfire.org or call David Belden at (231) 349-
2161. For details on the Santa gathering, craft show,
parade and more, call the Reed City Chamber at (231)
832-3451 or visit www.reedcity.org.

Outdoors enthusiast Dave Foley has one piece of advice
for those who have never snowshoed before just try it.
Its really good exercise, Foley said. And youre land-
ing on a soft surface, so its low impact. Theres really
nothing risky or dangerous about it.In addition to being good exercise, Foley said snow-
shoes are one of the best and only ways to access wooded
areas normally impeded by snow cover.
Foley said the activity is very easy to learn, since if
done right, there should be no difference between walk-
ing normally and with snowshoes on your feet.
For the beginner, Foley said it is extremely important
to make sure snowshoes fit snuggly and allow the heels to
lift off the ground when taking a step.
Youre not supposed to look like Frankenstein when
you walk (with snowshoes), Foley said.
Also, remember that snowshoes are built based on the
weight of the person using them, not necessarily the size
of their foot.
A quality set of snowshoes for a beginner can cost as
low as $60 or $70. Its important to remember, however,
that you get what you pay for, Foley said.
If youre a serious snowshoer and youre way out
there and your snowshoe breaks down, that could be cat
strophic, Foley said.
Once on the trail, Foley said those without much expe
rience might want to try using ski poles along with the
snowshoes to improve balance.
Walking on a trail with snow thats already packed als
will help the novice snowshoer.
Snowshoeing fun for beginners, experts alike

Winter is a great time to
head out on to any of the
Cadillac areas inland lakes
and do some ice fishing.
DNR Fisheries Biologist
Mark Tonello said the area
has two of the better north-
ern pike and crappie lakes
in northern Michigan in
lakes Cadillac and Mitch-
ell. Last winter was a tough
one for ice anglers, mostly
because of the intense cold
and abundant snow.
He expects this winter
will again be good for using
tip-ups and spearing for
pike. He added that walleyefishing should continue to
improve on Lakes Cadillac
and Mitchell, as it has for
the past several years.
Lake Missaukee is good for panfish,
bluegill and sunfish, in particular,
Tonello said. Although the first two
weeks and last two weeks of ice are
considered the best ice, Tonello said
on local lakes pike and crappie can be
caught throughout the season.
The free fishing weekend this win-
ter is scheduled for Feb. 14 and 15.During that weekend, anyone can
fish without a license, but still must
follow state fishing laws.
When it comes to ice fishing, the
DNR historically doesnt say when
ice is considered safe, but anglers
need to remember there is no fish is
worth risking your life for. The DNR
also suggests following a few safety
tips when heading out onto the ice.
They include:
Avoid crossing frozen bodies of
water in a single file.
Never venture onto the ice aloneor without telling your plans to a re-
sponsible adult.
Any time you are on the ice and
have not personally checked the
ice thickness consider yourself in
harms way. Check the
thickness of the ice with
ice spud before venturing
onto the ice.
Never drive a car or
truck on the ice.
Avoid standing or walk
ing in areas with a group
of people.
Always wear a life
jacket when on the frozen
surface of a lake or river.
Carry a pair of ice
picks. These are designed
for a self rescue and are
two handles with a nail
device in one end attache
to each other by a length
rope.
Look for large cracks o
depressions in the ice. Learn and practice res
cue techniques by using
ropes, boats, ladders, etc.
Ice does not form with
uniform thickness on any body of
water. Underwater springs or cur-
rents can wear thin spots on any bo
of water.
Clear ice is the strongest. Ice
formed by melted and refrozen
snow appears milky, is very porous
and very weak. Ice covered by snow
should always be presumed unsafe. Four inches of ice will generally
hold an average-sized person on foo
Snowmobiles and ORVs need at leas
eight inches of solid, consistent ice.
Ice fishingis a cool way to spend a winter day

CADILLAC Anglers will be able grab their rods,
tipups and bait their hooks for two days Michigan fish-ing for free.
Fishing licenses are required by Michigan for anyone
17 years of age or older. But on February 14 and 15 all
fishing license fees will be waived for anyone wanting to
have some fun fishing.
The 2015 free fishing weekend is bringing Northern
Michigan families back out on the lakes this winter.
Michigans free fishing weekend gives residents and
out-of-state tourists a chance to fish on both inland and
Great Lakes waters for all species of fish.
The two days have become an annual tradition for an-
glers and their families.
The Department of Natural Resources offers a free fish-ing weekend twice each year. The weekends are an an-
nual effort to encourage people to get outside and enjoy
fishing on both inland and Great Lakes waters.
Michigan has more than 3,000 miles of Great Lakes
shoreline, more than 11,000 inland lakes and tens of thou-
sands of miles of rivers and streams for anglers to fish.
During the free fishing weekend, a number of fishing
events will be offered in Cadillac and throughout the
state. A total of 26 events were officially registered last
winter with the Michigan DNR for the free fishing weekend with more than 3,100 attendees across the state.
Each year the Carl T. Johnson Hunting and Fishing
Center hosts its annual Free Fishing Weekend Fishing
Derby. The derby includes two divisions; one for anglers
ages 4 to 10 and one for those aged 11 to 16.
John Zakrajsek, interpreter for the Hunting and Fish
ing Center, said the facility is working to bring a few ac-
tivities to the center for families headed out on the lakes
during the free fishing weekend. He said the free fishing
weekend is a way to encourage people to experience fish
ing for walleye, pike and panfish on lakes Cadillac and
Mitchell.
Its a great introduction for people who may notnormally get out on the waters to fish, Zakrajsek said.
Hopefully, it will become a tradition and fishing will be
permanent part of more families outdoor activities.
During the free fishing weekend all fishing regulation
still apply.

Enjoy Northern Michigan this winter with some
fun in the snow.
Michigan is home to 6,500 miles of snowmobile
trails for snowmobile riders to tour.
Jim Thomas, a member of Cadillac Winter Promo-
tion, said Northern Michigan is one of the premier
locations for snowmobile trails throughout the state.
The Cadillac Trail system has more than 200 miles
of groomed trails and spreads through the Huron-Manistee National Forest.
Our trail system is excellent. We have trails that
can go everywhere from Mesick to the Caberfae Ski
Lodge, Thomas said.
He said the Fred Meijer White Pine Trail is a favor-
ite for snowmobilers each winter. The 92 mile trail
has an 88 mile section open from Cadillac to Grand
Rapids.
The trail continues through Reed City, a popular
crossroad for Michigans Rails-to-Trails systems.
Riders can get onto the White Pine Trail and Pere
Marquette Trail near the Reed City Depot. The depot
is located at the crossroads of U.S. 131 and U.S. 10.Fred Bartholomew, president of the Michigan Trail
Blazers, said Missaukee County also boosts miles of
snowmobile trails for winter enthusiasts.
The Mis-Kal Trail is a 50-plus mile trail system
throughout Missaukee County that interconnects
trails to Kalkaska, Roscommon, Crawford and Grand
Traverse counties. The main trunk, the 6 trail,
runs east and west. The 651 trail connects the 6
trail to Lake City. The trail has a state trailhead on
old M-131 just before the Manistee River Bridge nea
the Manistee River.
Bartholomew said the wooded trail system is grea
for anyone wanting to ride through a beautiful na-
ture trail this winter.
The Mis-Kal Trail is a really scenic trail withviews of the Manistee Bridge and plenty of small
rivers, Bartholomew said. Its also a good transpo
tation hub into Lake City.
Bartholomew said the trail is one of the most hig
ly-trafficked trails in the area for snowmobile rider
He said last winters heavy snowfall brought plenty
of snowmobile traffic to the area.
Thomas said most snowmobile trails will be open
by the official date of Dec. 1 until the end of March
The Michigan Snowmobile Association has listin
for area trails in Wexford, Osceola, Missaukee and
Lake counties. The MSA also list trails for other loc
tions in the Upper and Lower Peninsula.Permits are required for all snowmobile riders.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources
suggest snowmobile riders remember to never con-
sume alcohol before heading out on the trails.
Trail reports can be found at msasnow.org or

CADILLAC The North American Snow Fest is again
going to hit Cadillac this winter and people should ex-
pect everything that was at last years event and more.
With momentum building over the past couple years,
NASF Committee President Jack Simcock said it will
continue at this years event. That momentum can be
seen with advertisers putting dollars toward the festival
as well as the local support.
This year the NASF will be from Feb. 5 through
Feb. 7. Simcock did not have all the details at press tim
but he did say there are tons of events happening that
people have come to expect, like the Miss NASF Pagean
and the chili cook-off. He added the snowmobile races o
Lake Cadillac also should be part of the event in 2015.
Thursday night will be as it always is. We will have
the Silent Observer and WTCM Chili Cook off and Mis
NASF pageant, he said. The rest of the events are sti
in the planning stages.

Last year a new event, an arm wrestling competition, was
held but planners are not certain if it will return. There
also was two nights of live music as well as a Universyl
Wrestlings Body Slam on Ice. Although the event was still
early in the planning stages, Simcock said he could say the
event will now be housed at the Cherry Grove Event Center.
It is believed that moving the location of the indoor activi-
ties for the NASF will enhance them and improve turnout.
It is right on the trail so it will be easier for the snow-
mobilers to get there, he said. The guests who come to
Cadillac for the NASF who couldnt make it to the indoor
activities can now make it.
Simcock said as the event gets closer he should be able to
talk about various new events that are not nailed down just
yet. As the event nears check out www.nasfcadillac.com for
more information.
The (NASF) committee is looking forward to another
successful event, Simcock said.

CADILLAC On select weekends during the fall andwinter, the Elks Lodge in Cadillac becomes a center of
good vibrations courtesy of the Gopherwood Concert
Series.
Musicians representing a wide range of genres have
performed at Gopherwood, which began 31 years ago as a
celebration of American folk roots.
Organizer Paul Brown said the concert series got its
unique name because the original founders all used to
heat their homes with wood. Hence Gopherwood, (go for
wood) was chosen.
In the past, notable performers have included Vance
Gilbert, Mose Allison, Richie Havens, the Red Sea Pe-
destrians and Blue Molly.During the last few years, Brown said attendance at the
shows has increased as a result of more widespread expo-
sure on social networks.
He said at least two shows sold out during the 2013-2014
season.
For this years series, which begins Oct. 11, some home-
town performers will return and some new faces will
grace the Gopherwood stage for the first time.
The opening show of the season will feature Robbie
Schaefer (from Eddie from Ohio), Rachael Davis and Jak
Armerding.
On Nov. 8, Cadillac native Luke Winslow King will
bring his delta blues musical stylings back to town for ashow and CD release party.
Other artists slated to perform this year include Stella
the Madcat Midnight Blues Journey and Roosevelt Digg
Tickets can be purchased at Toy Town in downtown
Cadillac, or by calling (231) 846-8383. Children ages 12 an
under attend free of charge.
