Welcome to 'The Week' for October 13-19. This is where we will be posting comments such as news items, interesting blog posts, cool video and media, coming events, new web sites added to Absolute Michigan and other items of note.

We invite you to do the same!

After a nice stretch of unseasonably warm temps we are now back to where you should be for October. Lower peninsula colors are beginning to peak so a color tour would be perfect right now. Looking ahead at this week's event you can step back in time to a turn-of-the-20th century Hallowe’en at Greenfield Village in Dearborn. Check out a very special "Ghost Hunters Weekend" will be held Oct 17-19, 2008 at the Terrace Inn in Petoskey. Join Ella Sharp Museum of Art and History Executive Director Chris Gordy and his wife, Susan, for the ambiance and culinary fare of an earlier Jackson. 'An Evening in the Log House' is held October 15th in Jackson.
