Posted: 10/6/2008 10:52:20 PM | Wyandotte has a third Fridays thing that is pretty fun too. The bad thing for me is that Fridays are out because I work until about 9 at night. But that shouldn't stop the rest of you..lol. Maybe I could meet up with you guys later on.
The Plymouth ice show and the Downtown Winter Carnival are both in February I think.
I have heard from several people that there is alot of interest in Walleyball.
I think it would be a riot to do one of these haunted house things. Maybe we could all meet up and then go somewhere afterwards. Which night dosen't have a POF Party going on this month? | |

Metro Times Ale Fest
SATURDAY 10/18 1-5 PM
50 BEERS • 4 HOURS • SAMPLE 'TIL KEGS FLOAT!
Metro Times and Eastern Market are bringing top quality beer and the Fall Harvest Days together for the first ever Ale Fest. The event will take place in Shed 5 at Eastern Market on Saturday, October 18th from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, rain or shine.
Over 50 different beers will be available to sample, ranging from dark ports and stouts to lighter pale ales and ciders. Attendees will sample favorites like Guinness, Hoegaarden, Stella Artois and Strongbow while also enjoying some of the Michigan beers available, including several Bell's Brews.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Ticket price includes beer samples until the kegs run dry and refreshments will be provided for a nominal price by Eastern Market. Metro Times and Eastern Market are expecting Ale Fest to sell out quickly, so buying tickets in advance and arriving early is recommended. Tickets can be purchased beforehand at the Metro Times office (click for directions) or at ticketweb.com. This event is 21 and up.
A portion of the profits made from Ale Fest will go to Eastern Market to support their endeavors to bring fresh, locally grown produce to Metro Detroit. In an effort to cut environmental waste from the beginning with this new event, all of disposable beer cups are made from PLA plastic derived from corn, which will decompose organically.
For more information about Ale Fest, contact Maria Stella at (313)202-8061 or by e-mail at promotions@metrotimes.com. | |

Posted: 10/12/2008 6:02:06 AM | There's something cool happening throuout the next few weeks here in Port Huron if anyone want's to come up...we could close the evening off afterwards at our local brewpub.
This is from our paper...
It doesn't have to be Halloween, or even October, for me to enjoy a spooky ghost story.
We used to scare each other with spooky ghost stories at slumber parties when I was a little girl. One scary tale was about a woman who haunted a dry riverbed in Southern Arizona (right outside of wherever our slumber party was, of course). According to the legend (real or made up by us -- I don't remember), the woman (her name was strictly the whim of the storyteller) died in childbirth and wandered up and down the river bed looking for her baby. Of course we used flashlights to light the bottoms of our faces while sitting in the dark for maximum fright effect. I'm pretty sure we made more than one of our friends cry for mommy.
The ghost stories we enjoy may be different as grown-ups, but no less fun.And Bryan Tomlinson, a designer at Mueller Brass, is counting on it. Bryan will be our tour guide through 200 years of spooky downtown Port Huron history and hauntings.
He's been doing his homework at the Michigan Resource Room at the St. Clair County Library and talking with staff in the older downtown buildings about spooky first-person experiences.
And, yes, Bryan uses an old-fashioned lantern to give the fun its proper eerie glow.
I went on a preview tour last Friday night -- the tour is worth the time; I had a blast.
The spooky tour stops include the HAC, The Vintage Tavern, Quay Street (the street, not the bar), the Military Street Bridge, the Harrington Inn, the Times Herald and the Seventh Street Bridge. And Bryan fills the walk between stops with story snippets of other haunted Port Huron stories.
Tours start today and continue Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 24. There's a special Devil's Night Tour Oct. 30. All tours start at 7:30 p.m. in front of the Huron Athletic Club restaurant, 319 Huron Ave. in downtown Port Huron.
The response has been huge and the dates are selling out quickly (a few people are on waiting lists), so don't dilly-dally with your reservation.
The tours are free, but tipping the host always is good form. To go on a tour, you have to make a reservation by calling (810) 984-8578. | |

Posted: 10/12/2008 12:25:38 PM | | There was alot of interests in other kinds of events a week ago after the bonfire, but it seems to have died out. The thing is, the regular posters need to hear some input from the people who attend these events but never post in the forums. It helps to see interest to know whether you should proceed or not. | |

Posted: 10/12/2008 5:07:22 PM | Fall colors are nearing their peak...how about a landscape photography group shoot/seminar.
We could pick a scenic location and take photographs for a few hours, and learn a bit about how to take a better photo. Afterward, we could assault a nearby restaurant for dinner and drinks (for those so inclined). | |

Posted: 10/12/2008 6:09:44 PM | through out the year some metro parks have things going on such as car shows, concerts, fireworks some are low cost and even free,. ,Canoe trips, hiking trips , the zoo, even a toledo mud hens game would be cool for a group gathering and even a chance to meet up with the other fishes that are not as close. River cruises, murder mystery trains and dont forget ye ole pot luck BBQs with games included. didnt mean to take up so much space but there are a ton of things out there to do on different budgets.  | |

Posted: 10/14/2008 6:53:06 AM | Here's something coming up, that I'm participating in that might be of interest to some of you POF'ers. Especially the beer drinkers among you. After all, beer is the "new black" and beer tastings are replacing wine tastings, it is being featured on food network shows all the time, and food/beer pairings are all the rage right now.)
Ever wonder what goes into making beer? Ever thought of Making your own? Want to taste some of the best beers that SE Michigan has to offer?
The American Homebrewers Association (AHA) Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day is an international event to introduce people to the homebrewing hobby and establish relationships with local homebrew supply shops.
Each year on the first Saturday in November, homebrewers around the world are encouraged to invite non-brewing and brewing friends and family to celebrate Teach a Friend to Homebrew Day and brew a batch of beer together.
In Our Area, Cap-N-Cork Home Brewing Shop is the Mecca for TAFTHB Day festivities.
I plan on being there all day brewing, with some friends and family, as well as some people from the online homebrewing forum I participate in.
Most of the larger clubs bring several kegs of their beer (and bottles of wine/mead) to share as well. (There was over 90 gallons @ the spring brew day.)
So if anyone wants to learn how to brew, taste some incredible beer, or just hang out, then come on out.
Cap N Cork Homebrewing Supply
16812 21 Mile Rd, Macomb, MI
10am-4pm
The event is free, but if you bring a dish to pass you will be loved by all. If anyone from POF is interested I'll put up a POF Fish sign at my setup, I'll even do it as a class if you want. | |
