Here we are at the last weekend in August and it stills feels like we never had a real summer. I think it’s actually time to embrace autumn and put the shorts and t-shirts away and pull out the sweatshirts. I mean, the cider mills are opening!

1. Yates Cider Mill - This lovely cider mill in Rochester Hills is my favorite in the area, I've been going here since I was a kid. So line up for your cider and donuts and take a walk on the trail. Opens August 29th.
2. Michigan State Fair - I haven't been to the State Fair since I was a child but the smell of malt vinegar on french fries always brings back those memories. Rides, livestock, food, and entertainment. August 28th through September 7th.
