Canadian Freeze Ray wreaks havok on Michigan
Our April 1st Special Report finds residents of the Straits area & Detroit stunned to find the Mackinac Bridge and the Renaissance Center mysteriously encased in huge blocks of ice. Read on for the shocking story, which even includes Kwame Brown & text messages, making it technically news.

La Marche du Nain Rouge
On Sunday, March 25th of 2012 along the Cass Corridor the citizenry will once again gather for the annual La Marche du Nain Rouge. Annually held on the Sunday closest to the Vernal (Spring) Equinox, it is parade and street theater similar in sensibility to Mardi Gras and other Carnival celebrations.

Carnival Weekend at Boyne
Mardi Gras meets Boyne Mountain this weekend (March 16-18) for their annual Carnival Weekend. The weekend is a Boyne tradition that allows you to kick off spring fever in costume with an on-hill cookout and party featuring live music and crazy races. A highlight is the Slush Cup, which pits skiers and snowboarders against a big pool of water. Click through for more including some great video!
