November 2009 Michigan Event Calendar
A sampling of Michigan festivals & events for the month of November. As usual, there's no way to get them all, so please add links and information about the one's we've missed (or reviews of ones we have) in the comments section.

350 International Day of Climate Action in Michigan
This Saturday (October 24, 2009) is the 350 International Day of Climate Action and we've got some Michigan events, some info about the science behind the 350 movement and thoughts about how that might affect the Great Lakes State.

Autumn in Michigan: Something for Everyone
The crowds and traffic have subsided, the harvests are bountiful and the mosquitoes are few and far between. What we're trying to say is that autumn is perfect time to get out and enjoy a color tour, take in a late season festival or event, go camping or hit one of Michigan's numerous wineries and pick up a few bottles for holiday gifts or get-togethers.
