  • Summary

  • This week we are all over on Behind the Mitten, from Tecumseh to Bellaire, to Lansing and beyond. Sounds like everything is normal then, right?

    Located in southeast Michigan south of Ann Arbor, charming Tecumseh is hosting their annual AppleUmpkin Festival on October 12 and 13. Featuring carnival rides, inflatables and bungee jumping, there are also crafts for the little ones, play putt-putt, and explore a corn box.

    What is a corn box? We have no idea but will find out for you. There is also an antique fair, arts and crafts showing, and live entertainment. We love that there is no cost to attend. Get more info at Downtown Tecumseh area; downtowntecumseh.com.

    Ahhhhhh thank you google! A corn box is like a children's sandbox, but with the sand replaced by CORN KERNELS. #themoreyouknow

    Moving along, John brings us a great interview with our friends at The Wharton Center in Lansing to discuss their upcoming Broadway season which begins Oct. 8 with Les Miz. Speaking of maize,The Wharton will have the Michigan premiere of “Shucked,” a Tony award winning show about “corn,” in January. Other shows include MJ The Musical, Chicago and Life of PI. More info at whartonseason.com.


    After all this we got thirty, so we visit with our good friend Kerry Lynch, director of sales and marketing at our beloved Short's Brewing Company. Did you know they make a stand-out NA hopped up beverage called Thirst Mutilator? And that they just came out with a crazy new flavor that will remind you of your childhood? No? Well, we'll tell you all about it, plus their new fall release, a nice little beer called Only Tourists. It's always fun to hear what's going on up in Bellaire.
