Celebrating Michigan: 2010 Michigan Winter Beer Festival
Michigan is one of America's top destinations for craft beer and if you need proof just head to Grand Rapids this Saturday. Nearly 50 craft brewers—including 35 Michigan-owned and operated microbreweries and brewpubs—will gather in Grand Rapids to take part in the fifth-annual Michigan Winter Beer Festival. Beer enthusiast will be able to sample 300-plus beers outdoors at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park just north of the city.
Getting Back to Basics; What Does That Actually Mean?
There is a growing sentiment in Michigan and across the nation that “government needs to get back to basics.” Which raises an interesting question: are we even currently doing the basics? Since when are decent roads and libraries and parks not basics? These government services have been staples of our society going back to a time when most people could tell you where they were when they heard Lincoln was shot. Yet we are allowing these key institutions of our society to decay right before our eyes.
Have Your Say In How We View Michigan’s Future
We asked artists and designers to come up with creative ways to depict the actions and assets that would create more livable and desirable communities and help turn out Michigan's fortunes. They responded with over 300 submissions. With the help of the Detroit Institute of Art we've come up with 60 finalists but we need your help to name the winner.
