Happy birthday to CS Mott, born on June 2, 1875! In 1907 Mott moved his wheel and axle-making firm, Weston Mott, to Flint. For the next 65 years he was a key part of the rise of General Motors to be the largest car company in the world. The foundation that bears his name will celebrate it's own 100th birthday this weekend with a family festival at the Flint Cultural Center.

Bozo gets all the press, but did you know that WJRT TV12 had a host of locally-produced programming? Theatre of Thrills with host Christopher Coffin, Romper Room with Miss Lois (and later Miss Margie), Folkswingers (which featured Fenton act The Talismen), and Mr. Magic (portrayed by Frank Cady, who later became Bozo in 1967). One intriguing program was Colonel Gyro from Outer Space, but sadly, we haven't been able to find any more information about that one.

The celebration is being held in honor of National Tap Dance Day, which is observed annually on May 25 and recognizes the birthday of legendary tap dancer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. The gathering will create space to honor tap dance history, celebrate its cultural legacy, and bring people together through movement, rhythm, and fellowship.

A free Tap Dance Day celebration invites Flint dancers and musicians to gather at UM-Flint.
