Joan Baez Sings at the SCA October
12, 2010
After putting herself on the line
during her fifty year folk music career, this iconic heroine comes
to Saugatuck in her only Michigan concert this year. Her songs
“Forever Young”, “Diamonds & Rust,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie
Down”, and Dylan’s “Blowing in the Wind” influenced a generation.
This will be a night to remember! |

The World’s largest art prize with
over 1700 artists competing for $500,000 in awards in venues all
over Grand Rapids is not to be missed! It is a wonder! Yet, to
truly enjoy this 2nd annual event, it’s best to enjoy it in small
doses. We invite you to stay in Saugatuck and view it over three
or four days during our Indian Summer. A feast for the eyes as
well as the soul and a memory forever. |

Apple Picking at Cranes Time to visit Crane Orchards to “pick your own” apples! Then go to
their Pie Pantry for terrific soups, homemade pies, cider and cider
doughnuts. In the orchard are, Ginger Gold, Honey Crisp, Gala, Mutsu,
Fuji, Ida Red, Empire Golden, and Cortlands. They are great for apple
pies, applesauce, cobblers, crisps, strudels, and cider. It’s a fine
time of year and we live smack in the center of Michigan’s Fruit Belt
with orchards all around us. |

Great Food & Music
The food at Salt is
terrific, masterminded by Chef Mathew Pietsch. It is all locally
sourced and creatively executed. Mostly it’s delicious. It’s topped
off with the best local, regional and national music every Friday
and Sunday. The range covers folk, blues, country, bluegrass,
fusion, and often features songwriters singing their own songs. Salt
is a very special experience. saltoftheearthfennville.com
