Sandcastles Children’s Museum shared this creation made by a child visiting the museum. They announced the Amazing & Almost True Tale of Ossawald Crumb and the Michigan White Pine play event, which will be on the stage August 6-7. Admission is free, according to museum director, Kristin Korendyke. The play features several animal characters made famous in the Anishinaabe language of the Ottawa peoples— Waawaashkeshi, the white-tailed deer, Makwa, the black bear, and the large trickster rabbit, Gitchii-Waabooz. Also seen in the play are wise, old Grandmother Pine, Zhingwaak- Ookomis, and an Ottawa elder named Leading Thunder. The 30-minute play, written by local playwright, Rick Plummer, tells the story of how the forest creatures, led by the sacred pine tree and a wise Native American, teach the legendary lumberjack about the evils of clear-cutting and deforestation. Plummer also directs the production.

DINING
Crown & Cork posted a pic from the deck, overlooking Ludington’s Municipal marina. If you’re looking for a view of the water during your dining experience, this is a great spot! We also recommend the decks at Jamesport and Timbers for views of the harbor.
HumaniTea was featured on the vlog, West Michigan Eats. Jeff called it a tea room so friggin’ sweet it may just put Hersey’s out of business! His page is worth a follow if you want to discover good eats in our area.
The Refinery has Juvederm Ultra, Ultra Plus, Restylane Kysse, and the NEW LIPS+ from Revanesse all in stock. And while we think you should not be ashamed to do things that make you feel good… they do offer back door entry upon request. Jen says, if it makes you happy, who cares what anyone else thinks!! 🙂
