Uncle John's Cidery in St John's

Our favorite hard cider in the state has to be Uncle John's from the cidery on Highway 127 just north of Lansing in St Johns. Their flavors are all delicious--apple cider, pear cider and especially apple cherry cider. They make a popular non-alcoholic cider as well to go with homemade donuts, pies and breads. Their gift shop sells wines produced on the farm as well as preserves and various souvenirs.  Don't forget a wagon ride to top it all off.

Robert Burns Music Festival

The worldwide celebration of Robert Burn's birthday takes place the end of January. His actual birthday was January 25th, 1759 in bonny old Scotland. Michigan gets in on the festivities tonight in Bath, near Lansing, at the Eagle Eye Golf and Country Club where there's a big shindig complete with the Glen Erin bagpipe band, highland dancers and the obligatory haggis for good eating, the yummy picture you see above. You haven't lived until you've partaken of it! Get out your kilts and practice your Scottish brogue, saying My love's like a red red rose
