August 2025 Issue
Summer is beginning to wind down, but our region still buzzes with activity—farmers markets overflowing with fresh produce, local events filling community calendars, and new faces shaping the neighborhoods we love. This month, we spotlight local women turning nature into nourishment, celebrate a teacher whose influence reaches far beyond the classroom, and remember the day a Navy destroyer found its forever home on the Saginaw River. Plus, we’ve got a crowd-pleasing recipe, a local dining favorite, and Michigan-made products worth checking out. Whether you’re reading this at the lake, on a lunch break, or from your front porch, we hope these stories remind you of what makes Mid-Michigan feel like home.
