  • Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Thursday, February 27, 2025.

    Today, we're kicking off with some exciting news about the local dining scene. The 15th Annual Traverse City Restaurant Week is in full swing, running from February 23 to March 1. Eateries across Traverse City and Grand Traverse County are offering special multiple-course prix fixe menus priced at $25 and $35. This is a fantastic opportunity to explore the diverse culinary landscape of our city and support local businesses. So, grab your friends and family and enjoy a delicious meal at one of our many participating restaurants.

    In other news, if you're looking for something unique to do tonight, consider stepping outside to witness a rare celestial event. Michigan residents can see seven planets align in the sky, with optimal viewing times scheduled for February 28 at 6:10 PM. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you won't want to miss.

    For those interested in outdoor activities, the Michigan DNR and MDOT are hosting an open house to discuss upcoming improvements to a state park and highway. This is a great chance to learn more about the projects and provide your input on how these changes will impact our community.

    On a more serious note, a proposed Michigan bill aims to curb classroom distractions by implementing cell phone rules. This initiative seeks to improve the learning environment for students and teachers alike. Additionally, Governor Gretchen Whitmer has announced Rural Readiness grants to aid Michigan's economic development, which could have significant benefits for our local economy.

    In local sports, St. Ignace secured a quality road win, and Frankfort won the Northwest outright in girls hoops. The Red Wings also rallied past the Wild with a pair of goals from Simon Edvinsson.

    For those interested in wildlife, a Traverse City homeowner's eagle cam has captured the first egg laid by Harriet the eagle. This is a heartwarming moment that highlights the beauty of nature right in our backyard.

    Looking ahead to future events, the Downtown Traverse City Association has a packed calendar. Upcoming events include the Old Town Arts & Crafts Fair on June 14, the National Cherry Festival Arts & Crafts Fair on June 29, and the Downtown Street Sale on August 1. These events are a great way to engage with our vibrant community and enjoy everything Traverse City has to offer.

    Finally, if you're looking to improve your photography skills, join professional photographer Don Rutt for a hands-on presentation about simple tips for better phone photos and edits. This event, titled Retired Recess, is happening today.
