The first weekend of the Haunted Factory is here, Friday through Sunday and it also includes a second area for little ones under 8 years old.
Manistee's Ghost Ship returns on Friday and Saturday! Have you been through yet? Yes, it's open during road construction - just enter from the north side of US-31. If you're coming from the south (Ludington, Muskegon, for instance), you will have to take the detour first, then double-back about one mile. You can't miss it!
Drop by Kaleva and have dinner on Saturday night! The Family and Friends of Sandy (Mallison) O'Shea will have a Benefit Spaghetti Dinner and Silent Auction for her tonight, Saturday, Oct. 20 at the Benzie-Manistee Snowbirds Clubhouse (14121 Industrial Ave. - see map below) in Kaleva from 5-8 p.m. Sandy is a lifelong resident of Manistee County, and has cancer and is unable to work. The dinner is by donation.

On Saturday afternoon, enjoy a step back in time at Kaleva's unique Bottle House Museum, and then head over to Manistee for the historic Cemetery Walk (rain or shine). This offering is a local favorite and is meant for anyone wanting to learn more about Manistee area founders, movers and shakers...and others. Learn about the renegade Mormon from Beaver Island, a timber pirate and the Mr. Fowler to which no one wants to be related. Saturday night is certainly one of several Strange Days, as the group by the same name offers its Doors Tribute at Little River Casino Resort!
And remember, Boos, Brews & Brats has been moved to next Saturday, Oct. 27!
Have you spotted the Gatekeeper yet? He's been seen in Onekama, within Manistee, Copemish, Brethren and along the southern county border. Say hi, answer one of his riddles and try not to stare. He's sensitive. Follow him online via Facebook or Twitter!
Don't forget a bite to eat! Or do a little shopping for that other holiday. See our free Event Map for month-long discounts and specials, as well as the list of events with locations and times, and check the Events tab above for late-breaking details. There's so much to do, it's scary!
