The Department of Natural Resources and Environment announced that the Michigan Forest Visitor Center at Hartwick Pines State Park will host its annual Forest Fest on Saturday, Aug. 11, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Forest Fest will provide fun, educational activities designed to help children and families learn about this important natural resource.
Children will receive a natural resource activity booklet and can earn stamps by visiting each activity station. Events include children’s games, exhibits and displays on a variety of forest and natural resource-related topics. Guests can also learn about the health of Michigan’s forests and find out where to go for specific questions and help managing forests on their own private land. Educational handouts will be available, providing information on forest management and health as well as tips on preventing and suppressing wildfires.
Hartwick Pines State Park is located at 4216 Ranger Road in Grayling. The Forest Fest is a free event. However, all motor vehicles entering a state park or recreation area must display a 2012 Michigan Recreation Passport.
For more information about this program or other natural resource-based and historical programs offered at Hartwick Pines State Park, visit www.michigan.gov/hartwickpines and click on the link to the Michigan Forest Visitor Center, contact Craig Kasmer at kasmerc@michigan.gov or Tina McFalda at mcfaldat@michigan.gov, or call the Michigan Forest Visitor Center at 989-348-2537.
Beginning Oct. 1, 2201, the $10 Recreation Passport replaces the state park sticker for access into all state parks, recreation areas and boat launches. To get the Recreation Passport, Michigan residents can check “YES” on their license plate renewal forms. The Recreation Passport also helps preserve forest campgrounds and trails, historic and cultural sites in state parks, and local parks. Where can $10 take you? Visit www.michigan.gov/recreationpassport for more information.
The Department of Natural Resources and Environment is committed to the conservation, protection, management, and accessible use and enjoyment of the state’s environment, natural resources, and related economic interests for current and future generations. Learn more at www.michigan.gov/dnre.

On Saturday, August 18, the community of Lovells will hold their Annual Bridgewalk event. Be part of the exciting, exhausting walk across the North Branch of the AuSable River and support area charities. (This event is patterned after the Labor Day Mackinac Bridgewalk, but is designed to be easier for the less-adventuresome, with a total walk time of minutes.)
Beginning at 8:00 a.m. with a breakfast, the event offers not only the famous bridgewalk/parade at noon, but also a quilt show & sale, children’s activities and a potluck lunch. This community event is sponsored by the Lovells Township Volunteer Fire Department.

I love the look of colored metal, especially enameled. Unfortunately enameling takes some special tools like torches and or kilns plus a bit of time for the process. I’ve recently discovered a much simpler way of getting the same effects by simply painting on a unique permanent color system more often used for glass. In the sample here I cut a circle of metal, domed it, colored it, then hung it from my earring top.
This class will teach you how to use color on metal, silver, aluminum, nickel, and other metals to create lovely little pieces of art. You’ll also learn wire making skills to turn your metal and wire in artisan earrings.
You will leave withat least 2 pairs of earrings and skills to make many more. No experience necessary. All tools and materials will be provided, but feel free to bring along any jewelry tools or beads you already own. We’ll do our best to incorporate them in your pieces. Bring a ruler, a Sharpie (any color), paper, and pen or pencil.
The Instructor: Nancy Cornett is a local jewelry and metal artist, teacher, and owner of Au Sable Designs. Her jewelry and a tutorial have been published in Wire Jewelry magazine, can be seen at the Au Sable Artisan Village Gallery in Grayling (see her artist page here) and in her online shop at ausabledesigns.etsy.com.
The AuSable Artisan Village Art Center is open 7 days a week , Monday to Saturday 11 AM to 5 PM and Sunday 11 to 3. The AuSable Artisan Village Art Center is located in downtown Grayling at 219 Michigan Avenue. It is only one of the art galleries and shops that feature original artwork in downtown Grayling. Be sure to visit all of them. The gallery phone number is 989-312-3660.
Pre-registration(with payment) required – class size limited to 9 students
Cost: Non-Members: $37 (includes $10 materials fee)
