A little bit of Lansing love this week on Behind the Mitten, plus one last chance to get yourself out on the SCARE floor for Halloween.
We caught up with our friend Tracy Padot, director of Lansing.org who explained that no matter whether you "Choose Lansing" or "Love Lansing", you are bound to have a fantastic time in the greater Lansing region.
In fact, one of the biggest parties of the year will be happening in our capital city on November 17 when they host Silver Bells in the City, the kickoff to the holiday season.
They typically have over 40,000 guests attend Silver Bells, coming to Lansing to see the lighted parade, the unveiling of the state holiday tree and an incredible fireworks display.
A little more info on Silver Bells in the City from the website:
From 5 to 9 p.m., visit the Silver Bells Village and start your holiday shopping! You can also get some refreshments and your commemorative Silver Bells ornament. The village is located on the 100 E. Block of Allegan Street between South Washington Square and Grand Avenue.
Steps off at 6 p.m. and begins at the corner of Lenawee and S. Washington Sq. Grand Marshal is Lansing's own India Graham.
More than 60 units and several high school marching bands will sparkle with thousands of lights as they make their way through the streets of downtown Lansing. The parade is a sight to behold, delighting people of every age.
The participating high school marching bands will compete for the Best Illuminated Band awards during the parade.
At approximately 7:25 p.m., Michigan's Official State Christmas Tree will be lit up! This year's tree is a beautiful 60-foot spruce from Onaway located in Michigan's Lower Peninsula. Vic Ruppert and his family donated the tree in honor of his late wife Shirley Ruppert. This is the first tree from Presque Isle County.
And with a few last days to celebrate the Halloween holiday with a little bit of scary fun, we reconnected with Ed Terebus, owner and genius mastermind behind the award-winning, nationally known haunted house Erebus located in Pontiac. We discuss what it takes to put on a production of this size and professionalism, and how they'll start working on next year's house on November 1.
