Made in Michigan Market to Feature Local Products, Music and Charity Hockey Game

Organizers of the St. Clair Shores Senior Activities Center's Made in Michigan Market are putting the finishing touches on the locally-grown event Sept. 20-21 at the center.

The market - which will feature Michigan-made products, food, music and charity hockey game - is also a fundraiser for the senior meal program. Additionally, home-made pies, made with hand-peeled Michigan apples and cooked in the Michigan prepared pie shell from Achatz Pie Company, will also be sold during the event.  

"We would like to get people to come out and buy local," Sue Fickau, senior center coordinator, wrote in an email. "Support our fellow Michiganders!"

Some of the local vendors who are signed up for the market include and will be selling their wares include:

• Bellaroma, a natural skin care boutique, which has been featured in the primetime Emmy Awards, and is currently up for nomination from Martha Stewarts American Made Choice awards. 
• Toothy Toys which offers hand-made dog and cat accessories such as collars, pet beds, blankets and halters.
  
• Old World Gluten Free, LLC, which features gluten-free perogis.
