    The Mitten Brewing Company

    March 11, 2021 /

    By Olivia RauThe Mitten Brewing Company is a vintage baseball themed microbrewery located in a historic firehouse, Engine House #9, in Grand Rapids’ West Side. Since its opening in 2012, the Mitten has built a unique reputation for pairing high-quality craft beers and gourmet pizzas with community involvement. Giving back to the local community is a core value of the Mitten—they have given more than $300,000 in charitable gifts to local nonprofits since 2012. While the brewery’s commitment to their community through volunteerism and charitable giving has been evident from the beginning, the organization further bolstered their philanthropic capacity by forming their own nonprofit foundation in 2017, Mitten Foundation. The mission of the…

    By Aubrey Sochacki Lansing is often known for being the capital of Michigan, the home of the Spartans, and a growing community. The city strives to be supportive of all members of the community, including local businesses and those who call the city home. The Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) encourages each of their staff members to serve on local boards and committees. Through this encouragement, they have made it possible for CVB members to work with these boards and committees to organize local events. One of the events that many staff members help with is planting flowers on the capital lawn each year. This event brings the community together…

    Pictured Rocks Boat Cruises

    February 9, 2021 /

    By Megan Heynen If you live in Michigan, there is a good chance that you have heard of the Upper Peninsula’s (UP) Pictured Rocks. However, there is less of a chance that you have had the opportunity to go up to the UP and see them with your own eyes. Pictured Rocks is located on the South shore of Lake Superior and is a strip of unusual sandstone formations that goes on for miles. Pictured Rocks has always been a popular tourist destination. Over 50 years ago, Pictured Rocks Cruises, LLC began offering boat rides around the rocks to allow visitors to see them up close and personal. These cruises run from mid-May through…

     By Caitlyn Witkamp and Claire Zuwala Imagine being a tourist in your hometown, kind of a crazy idea, right? You have lived there for most of your life, so you should know everything there is to know about your sweet little town, where everything is, the places to chow down, and the best places for entertainment or fun… but, can you market your town to others? The Flint and Genesee Convention Visitors Bureau (CVB) is trying to change that. “Be A Tourist” is a program that the Flint and Genesee CVB put in place to help change the way the local residents, future residents, and visitors to the community see Flint and…

On Tuesday, April 19, 40+ volunteers got together On Tuesday, April 19, 40+ volunteers got together at @botanicgardentc in Traverse City, MI to kick off the 2022 @puremichigan Governor's Conference on Tourism!

These tourism industry professionals chose to start their conference experience by rolling up their sleeves and giving back to the local community. Volunteers helped remove old materials from the Botanic Garden's Carriage House and scraped paint off of its exterior walls to prep for new paint once warmer weather arrives. Volunteers also cleaned up the grounds around the old scale on the property, cleaned and sanitized picnic tables, and helped clear out flower beds. They were also able to go on a mini tour of the facilities before the morning was over.

GREAT JOB to all of the volunteers who braved the cold and windy mid-April weather in northern Michigan to help make a difference!
