So, what's on my agenda this weekend?

Well, lets see...

Lights, camera, action!

Thursday, October 4th, 2012 at 5pm will ring in the start of Hell's Half Mile Film and Music Festival, which goes thru Sunday, October 7th.

This grassroots event has grown into one of the most popular and anticipated Fall events in Bay City. Not only is there an impressive film schedule, which includes short programs, documentaries and full length features, it entertains with a fabulous music festival as well.

There are numerous activities associated with the event and you will often find me there enjoying at least one of them, all four days of the festival. there is truly something for everybody.

Fans of country music will have an opportunity to hear two great bands on Sunday, October 7th, 2012 from 2p-8p, when Steve Armstrong and The 25 Cent Beer Band and Gunnar & The Grizzly Boys hit the stage at Westown Theatre.
