Michigan curiosities

About this book

This book is your round trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Wolverine State has to offer! Check out an interest-igniting woodstove made of actual wood, a bi-annual picklepalooza, and an old-fashioned chicken coop-turned-gas station. Meet a podium-carrying wisecracking cop, a banana-hanging bat babysitter, and a fun-loving mechanical-museum mogul. Try your luck in some farfetched feather bowling, creep across the state's most rickety footbridge, and lounge on a lawn made of waves, you'll be rolling with laughter! Whether you were born and raised in Michigan or are a recent transplant, authors Colleen Burcar and Gene Taylor will have you laughing out loud as they introduce you to the neighbors you never knew you had and take you to places you never knew existed right in your own backyard. - Back cover.
