Our stories for the week featured the Leelanau Vintners Toast the Season Wine Trail Tour and ticket giveaway. And the debut of a new Michigan grown cherry juice, Very Cherre. Also Bata is asking everyone to participate in their online 2010 Strategy Survey. And although we aren’t seeing the fall color that we are used to, thankfully Pentax K1000 Gal has a great shot from a couple years ago of Mill Creek in Fall, that we featured on Photo Friday.

Week’s Weather

(Oct 22) Though there’s still lots of green, color is getting toward peak and this weekend may well be the best we get. We’re seeing lots of yellows and reds, and more and more browns. The wind is starting to pull down the leaves, so although it will probably continue for at least a week, we’re going to peg this weekend as peak color.

Oct 20:  Partly cloudy & 54 (54/48)
Oct 19: Partly sunny & 59 (62/44)
Oct 18: Partly cloudy & 51 (51/26)
Oct 17: Partly cloudy & 45 (45/28)
