Come learn about the many Michigan food and drink brands we know and love. Sure, Michigan invented ready-to-eat cereal (Kellogg's) and baby food (Ge**er) - but did you know that Germack was the first company in America to import pistachios, Better Made uses Michigan potatoes, and we are the pickle-growing capital of the US? If you’re a fan of brands like Sanders, Faygo, Vernors, Guernsey, and Jiffy—or have fond memories of brands like Awrey’s and Twin Pines—you’ll eat up this show!

No registration required.

The Orion Township Public Library is exploring potential building renovations to better meet the needs of our community. This session will introduce the possible project and provide an opportunity for public input.

During this interactive event, participants will learn about potential building additions, space changes, and new or expanded programming. We want to hear from everyone who uses the library and has ideas about how it can improve.

We also welcome feedback from those who do not currently use the library. Your input will help us better understand how we can serve the needs of the entire community.
