The Water Festival in Traverse City - December 12-14
The latest in an ongoing series of Water Festivals offers a chance to experience world-class Michigan musicians, speeches from water luminaries, interactive multimedia projects and presentations, artisan foods and beverages, workshops, visual art, theater and dance, children's activities and connections to campaigns and presenters. Learn more and watch a cool performance by May Erlewine.

What about water Wednesday?
Michigan is known as The Great Lakes State, but we could easily be called "The Water State". Click through for info about some upcoming water events, an innovative Michigan invention and the trailer for a compelling documentary about water.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald edited by Joseph Fulton
Joseph Fulton put together this amazing tribute to the 29 men who died in the shipwreck of November 10, 1975 aboard the freighter Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior. It's set to The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot, and the video is one of the best I've ever seen on YouTube. I hope you can watch it.
