Ogemaw County is a wonderful summer getaway located in the heart of Michigan. It has all the amenities that you will need to be comfortable and spend your time relaxing and enjoying everything from shopping in its Victorian downtown or at its Tanger Outlet Mall to taking in its abundant outdoor activities. |

This is a two-day Victorian-themed extravaganza and showcases the work of more than 275 juried vendors offering handmade crafts of every conceivable art. The whole family will enjoy all-day free entertainment on the outdoor stage and they can choose from a variety of summer's favorite foods and snacks. |

As we continue our time travel we now head back to the County Fairs of the early 1900’s. The period dress, the smells of old time cotton candy and the music from a bygone era all come to life at the Ogemaw County Country Fair. |

If the art and county fairs didn’t convince you to take a trip to Ogemaw County maybe a trip down the famous Rifle River will be your cup of tea. It was off to Rose City where we would meet with the biggest canoe rental owner in the county and his name of course is "Big Mike" at Big Mikes Canoe Rental.

Before we leave the Rose City area we want to do one more outdoor activity. We are going to spend some time on what we are told are the best off road vehicle trails in Michigan. Steve set us up with local ORV enthusiast Ron Sape. Ron filled us in on all the great opportunities. |

Let’s jump back in our time machine and meet with some French Voyageurs. They are stationed at Irons Park. |

| While touring the encampment we heard the music of bagpipes and looking down the trail that is exactly what was headed our way a Scottish Bag pipe brigade. |
