SUMMARY:Friends of Seney National Wildlife Refuge Announces 2026 Winter Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Friends of Seney National Wildlife Refuge Announces 2026 Winter Film Festival \n\nThree Thursday evenings in March dedicated to exploring wildlife\, science\, and conservation in the Great Lakes \n  \nThe Friends of Seney National Wildlife Refuge will host their 2026 Winter Film Festival on three consecutive Thursday evenings in March at the Erickson Center Pine Performance Center. This year’s festival theme\, Science\, Stories & Wildlife of the Great Lakes\, invites audiences to look more closely at the natural systems and conservation efforts shaping the region. \n  \nThe festival opens on Thursday\, March 5\, with a live presentation\, Owls of Whitefish Point\, featuring wildlife photographers and field biologists Chris Neri and Nova Mackentley. Drawing on nearly two decades of owl banding experience\, the presenters will share firsthand stories and research insights into snowy owl migration and long-term monitoring in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The presentation is a partnership between Friends of Whitefish Point and Friends of Seney National Wildlife Refuge. \n  \nOn Thursday\, March 12\, audiences will enjoy All Too Clear\, a visually stunning exploration of the Great Lakes beneath the surface. Using cutting-edge underwater drone technology\, the film reveals how invasive quagga mussels are transforming freshwater ecosystems in the Great Lakes—and how scientists are racing to understand and respond to these changes. This will be one of the first screenings of this award winning Canadian-produced film in the US. Elliot Nelson\, Michigan Sea Grant and Michigan State Extension\, will be available to answer questions after the film. \n  \nThe festival concludes on Thursday\, March 19\, with the documentary Return of the Trumpeters\, which chronicles the remarkable recovery of trumpeter swans following their near extinction. The 90-minute film\, produced by Steve Devon\, is a project of the Trumpeter Swan Society and includes spectacular footage of Seney’s swans. The film highlights the dedication\, collaboration\, and conservation strategies that helped restore this iconic species to Great Lakes wetlands. A Seney ranger will be on hand to answer questions after the film. \n  \nAll events will be held at the Erickson Center’s Pine Performance Center\, W9224 Saw-Wa-Quato\, Curtis Michigan. Doors open at 6:00 p.m.\, with programs beginning at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free\, and donations are appreciated.  Concessions will be available by donation. \n  \nProceeds from the Winter Film Festival support the mission of the Friends of Seney National Wildlife Refuge\, a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people with the refuge through education\, outreach\, and conservation support. \n  \nFor more information\, email friends@friendsofseney.org

SUMMARY:The Writing North Winter Book Fest
DESCRIPTION:An exciting literary event is coming to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula this winter. The Writing North Winter Book Fest will bring together authors\, readers\, and community members for a weekend dedicated to books\, storytelling\, and regional voices from February 28 – March 1\, 2026\, in various locations in downtown Manistique.\n\nHosted by The Mill Manistique and in partnership with Paper Mill Books\, the festival marks the first time Manistique will host a winter-focused book festival designed to celebrate writers and books that are culturally connected to the Great Lakes region.\n\n“As a lifelong northerner\, a reader\, and an author\, I know northern places shape the way writers work and the stories they tell\,” said Meagan Francis\, Writing North organizing director and co-owner of The Mill. “The climate\, the seasons\, and the pace of life all influence what ends up on the page. I wanted to create a festival that celebrates authors shaped by northern life and the readers who value and seek out their work.”\n\nThe Writing North Winter Book Fest will feature author panels\, discussions\, and opportunities for readers to engage directly with writers working across genres\, including fiction\, memoir\, poetry\, and nonfiction. The event is designed to be welcoming to both readers and writers\, offering programming that highlights the richness of Great Lakes storytelling.\nThe following authors\, along with Meagan Francis\, plan to participate in this year’s festival: Ellen Airgood\, Steve Amick\, T. Marie Bertineau\, Chad Broughman\, Mikel Classen\, David Dempsey\, Karen Dionne\, Carol Dunbar\, Bryan Gruley\, J.L. Hyde\, Ellen Lord\, Sara Maurer\, Anne-Marie Oomen\, Helen Raica-Klotz\, and Chef Lane (Iliana) Regan.\n\nFestivalgoers can customize their Writing North experience by purchasing one or more access passes:\n\n\nReader’s Day Pass $25 – Spend a full day immersed in stories\, creativity\, and community with access to all Writing North workshops and panels on Saturday\, February 28.\n\n\nLunch with an Author $35 – Share a meal with a festival author at a local eatery on Saturday\, February 28. Meal is included.\n\n\nFireside Salon $75 – Settle in for an intimate evening with guest authors at the Blue Mystique Inn\, followed by a cozy after-hours mixer with drinks\, light bites\, and relaxed mingling in a cozy setting.\n\n\nWriter’s Day Pass $65 – Level up your writing skills and publishing know-how at a mini-writer’s conference 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Sunday\, March 1\, featuring in-person workshops led by guest authors. Price includes lunch.\n\n\nAll Access Pass $170 – Enjoy all four experiences.\n\n\nFestival organizers also have plenty of exciting free programming planned at the Mill\, including a festival kickoff Saturday morning\, an instructor-led midday stretch\, book signings\, and a family hour with four local children’s book authors. Additionally\, visitors can participate in a free guided downtown history walk or enjoy local art displays at Lake Effect Arts Center.\n\nThe Writing North Winter Book Fest aims to establish a new annual tradition—one that celebrates regional talent\, fosters creative exchange\, and strengthens Manistique’s role as a cultural destination.\n\nFestival organizers see the event as a meaningful addition to Manistique’s growing arts and culture scene\, with the potential to draw visitors from across the Upper Peninsula while supporting local businesses and creative communities.\n“Every day in the bookstore\, we see how deeply readers connect with authors who come from this region\,” said Eric Neilson\, co-owner of Paper Mill Books. “People want to see their own lives reflected in what they read\, and this festival brings those writers and readers together in a really meaningful way.”\n\nFor updates on participating authors\, programming\, and ticketing\, visit writingnorth.com.\n\nAbout Writing North Winter Book Fest\nThe Writing North Winter Book Fest is a new literary festival celebrating the voices\, stories\, and creative spirit of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Launched in partnership with The Mill Manistique and Paper Mill Books\, the festival connects writers and readers through thoughtful programming\, community engagement\, and a shared love of books.\n\nContact Information\nMeagan Francis\, Writing North organizing director\, co-owner The Mill Manistique\n269-277-3845\nmeagan@themillmanistique.com\nwww.writingnorth.com\nIG: writingnorthup
