S6,E37: Vine Wine'd, Canadiana Fest, Donut & Beer Fest, and other great fall festivals (Sept. 14-15, 2024)

  • サマリー

  • Fall is festival time in Michigan, so we went on a journey to find a few of the more interesting-sounding ones out there and get the story behind the production of these fine community affairs. This week on Behind the Mitten we'll talk fests that focus on doughnuts and beer, running through the grapevines, hawks, and surprise, surprise, even one festival that celebrates all things Canadian.

    Once again back in its hometown of Kalamazoo, Michigan's Donut and Beer Festival is happening on October 19 at Homer Stryker Field. Featuring unique donuts from local bakeries, paired up with locally brewed beers, this festival just may be personally made exactly for Gonzo, since it incorporates two of his very favorite things. We learn that this festival typically sells out every year, so plan ahead and get your tickets now.

    Our friends at Fenn Valley Vineyards offer a unique way to enjoy their gorgeous rolling hills and grapevines on Saturday, October 5. The Vine Wine'd welcomes both runners and walkers to enjoy a 5k or a 1k through this beautiful spot. Fenn Valley Vice President Brian Lesperance joins us, and shares that after the race you can congratulate yourself with a glass of wine or cider, and a roast chicken lunch.

    The Huron-Clinton Metroparks encompasses thirteen very popular and very different parks across five counties in the metro Detroit region. We have Danielle Mauter, Chief of Marketing, Huron-Clinton Metroparks join us, and she shares that this fall they have several fun events to attend. The Night of Dragon, a family-friendly take on a Renaissance fair takes place in two parks (Indian Springs and Stony Creek Metroparks) on two different dates. Get the details here: https://www.metroparks.com/dragon/ If you are into birds, how about joining them for the hawk migration across Lake Erie? Happening on September 21 and 22 Hawk Fest features live birds of prey exhibitions as well, get more info here: https://www.metroparks.com/hawkfest/

    Finally, we have a firecracker of a guest who shares her incredible passion for all things Canadian. Channon Mondoux, Event Creative for Canadiana Fest, is putting together what is sure to be a great time. Canadiana Fest is happening Saturday September 21 at Arcadia Creek Festival Place. After hearing her plans, we're just going to say that you don't want to miss this one. From incredible Canadian musical artists, to authentic food and drink, it's going to be a great time, eh!
