Welcome to The Week on Absolute Michigan. Summer is in full swing around the state and candidates in Michigan primaries are trying to chicken dinner their way to an August 6th victory.

Our July Michigan Event Calendar says that events folks can check out this weekend include the Michigan Brewers Guild Summer Beer Festival (Ypsilanti - man would I love to go to this!), Art On The Rocks in Marquette, the Hoxeyville Music Festival,   and the Yale Bologna Festival. Bologna Festival?? Early next week, the Traverse City Film Festival begins as well.
