It was a delight to host Monday Meet Ups-- a Lenawee County Home school network-- today October 8th. We learned about Wooden school, MI history, how to introduce ourselves in Pottawatomi (Bodéwadmi) and French, as well as one of Adrian's longest running one room school houses as well, thanks to research by association member Lisa Cyrus.

Contests need two things: Fun people to enter them and great prize baskets! We are working our end to put delightful local-made or carried products in the winners' baskets for the apple-pie baking contest, and both the youth and adult scarecrow making contests! Have you started working on your entry yet? The scarecrows can be group efforts!

The excitement is building! Bake sale donation commitments are coming in as well as donations for the first place prize baskets for both scarecrow divisions and pie baking contests! Will you win one? Do you have something to contribute!? Let us know.
We still have a little room for additional tractors, lost arts, and vintage vehicles. Check the photo for whom to contact for more information and to get involved in this lovely family fall festival. It's just the right size to make memories and reconnect with the Irish Hills community.

New this year! A sing-a-long from 12:30 - 1:00 p.m. led by wonderful Michigan performer Cat Canyon! We hope you can join us for the FREE family fall festival & school fundraiser Saturday, Oct. 3rd 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Song books will be available at the festival. Special to our fall family history festival, Canyon has agreed to cover tunes from classic Americana culture known to most young and vintage.

There will be a plethora of additional activities going on. We hope to see you there, rain or shine as we will have tents up and the schoolhouse to enjoy as well as the outside exhibits.

Get to know Cat:
Singer/Songwriter/Multi-Instrumentalist Cat Canyon is a performer with a unique style, blending his rust belt Detroit, Michigan, upbringing and his big city adventures.

From early childhood, Cat challenged musical boundaries by combining his love of multiple genres of music in his songwriting, performances and recordings. For both originals and covers, he embraces new ways of capturing the essence of the music.

His heartfelt voice can soar majestically, then throttle down to a raspy growl. He can melt into a sweet ballad, then rock out, while fervently playing guitar, drums, harmonica, or a multitude of other instruments.

Cat has released four original projects, ranging from the eclectic to the mainstream. His most recent endeavor, Giving Up The Ghost, has a pop/rock/blues/folk flair, which reflects his chosen direction. Songs from Giving Up The Ghost have been heard frequently on WLEN 103.9 for three years.
