February Michigan Event Calendar
Our February Calendar shows that the more the weather tries to keep us holed up inside, the more ways we find to get out and have fun!! Of course, there's still many, many more and we invite you to fill us in on other February events in the comments section.

The Legend of Heikki Lunta
This weekend (January 20-21), the annual Heikki Lunta Winterfest (Hey-Key Loon-ta) takes place on and around Negaunee's Teal Lake. The festival celebrates the legendary (and pretty much made up) Finnish show god who is said to have the ability to perform a dance causing snowfall. Read on for the story behind the story!

Michigan New Years Eve Happenings
We have assembled a list of some of the best New Year's Eve events from across the state including a number from Detroit & Grand Rapids / Kalamazoo's massive New Year's Fests featuring fireworks, music and more! Did we get them all? Not likely!! Be sure to add the ones we missed to the comments and be safe while ringing in 2012!
