Who better to kick off this show than with the founder of Michigan Cares for Tourism herself, Ms. Patty Click Janes. She shares her inspiriation for MCT, which has been working on projects around Michigan since 2013. The first "unified" effort for the tourism industry to give back, MCT has completed 68 different projects, involving almost 6,000 volunteers, saving the state $2 million dollars, and impacting over 9 million visitors to our state parks.
Tawas State Park is one of Michigan's most unique state parks, residing on an ever shifting spit of sand fingered out into Lake Huron on the sunrise side of the state. Born and raised in Tawas, our next guest Micah Jordan now has his dream job as park supervisor. He shares what makes this park so special, and why he never wants to leave Tawas, and is beyond blessed to get to work here.
Kelly Wolgamott, Vice President of Pure Michigan always has awesome recommendations on things to do and see, and she stops by to share a few suggestions for fall, focusing on the sunrise side of Michigan. From incredible fall colors, winding drives, and unexpected towns to explore, plan your next adventure at Michigan.org.
Earlier this year we got to attend the unveiling of a beautiful new art exhibition that our friends in the Houghton Lake Area have been working on this summer. Located just next door to the Tawas region, Houghton Lake, St. Helen, Roscommon and the Higgins Lake are have tons of outdoor recreation to enjoy, from birding to boating. Vicky Barnes from the visitor's bureau, and a long time local, stops by to share her love of this community.
We had the best time volunteering this year, and we recorded this show right in the middle of our busy day, you might even hear the hard work in our voices. Huge shout-out to Patty and her incredible team of volunteers, not only was this event incredibly well-organized, it was amazing to see the real time transformation of Tawas State Park before our eyes. Michigan Cares for Tourism is an amazing organization doing great works for our state.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
