    Behind the Mitten, Episode 707
    Cornwell's Turkeyville, Marshall, Michigan

    Amy and Gonzo are excited to return to one of Michigan's most iconic destinations, Cornwell's Turkeyville in Marshall, Michigan known throughout the Midwest as a place for old-fashioned, one-of-a-kind fun.

    Turkeyville is a fudge shop, ice cream parlor, family restaurant dishing up turkey dinners and other comfort food, as well as an amazing dinner theater experience. Oh, and it's worth repeating, they offer up some of the best turkey dinners you'll find anywhere.

    Segment 1: Owner Elyse Cornwell-Bibbings, who recently took over ownership from mom Patti Cornwell, talks about what it's like to take over a four-generation business that has been in operation since 1968.

    Segment 2: Amy Mayne, who has been an employee of Cornwell's Turkeyville for 34 years, shares why she loves being a part of the fun.

    Segment 3: Dexter Brigham, Producing Artistic Director at Cornwell’s Turkeyville, created their newest show, "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" (which continues through Aug. 9). He talks about the creativity of the show and why dinner theater has become part of Turkeyville's success story.

    Segment 4: Amy and Elyse of Turkeyville return to talk about the RV Park, as well as some of the events to experience this year. Amy Sherman says: "Turkeyville is the type of place to go with family and friends to create new traditions or relive fantastic old memories. Go for dinner, but stay for more. And don't miss out on their gift shop, it is a great place to find a unique gift."

  • Where to celebrate the 4th of July in Michigan this year

    Where to celebrate the 4th of July in Michigan this year
    Jul 3 2025
    This week we bring you 4th of July celebrations from all over the state. We wish every Michigander a safe, happy and joyous holiday this week.

    We have events happening everywhere for the 4th, and each and every year it's hard to choose what to highlight. To kick off the show, John and Amy just talk about thier own traditions and plans for this most American of holidays.

    Stephanie Ware, the executive director for the White Lake Area Chamber and Visitors Bureau joins us to talk about what is happening in their town nestled on the shores of Lake Michigan. The area, which encompases the twin towns of White Lake and Montague, features breathtaking water views, lots of outdoor activities, and a great sense of community. The parade kicks off at 10am, and Steph shares where the best place to watch is.....and hint hint.....there is ICE CREAM involved.

    Next, we talk with a former guest who creates amazing art installations made of light, David Kronberg from Fresh Coast Light Lab. He and his talented team have put together one of their laser light shows in honor of the our nation's birthday and will be displaying it on the massive, historical Ore Dock in downtown Marquette. Extra cool? They will be doing two displays of this, one on July 3 with fireworks, and one on July 4 without, for our friends with sensory issues.


    Finally, we meet our new favorite guest, Ms. Wendy Woj, who is the first woman to be in charge of the Algonac Pickerel Festival happening July 3-6. This annual event has been happening for 87 years, and while it does include a pretty intense fishing competition, there is something for everyone at this charming fun festival.

    Happy 4th of July Michigan!

    Behind the Mitten - Episode 705
    "Celebrating 10 years as Michigan's premier radio show and podcast."

    On this episode, John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman travel to St. Helen for the unveiling of “The Fish,” a striking 6-foot Bluegill sculpture installed to represent the natural beauty and identity of the Richfield Township and St. Helen area. It is the first of five unique sculptures to be placed throughout Roscommon County as part of the “Fresh Waters Trail” — a new tourism initiative aimed at celebrating our local waters and attracting visitors to the region. The sculpture was handcrafted by Bob Batchik of Sunfish Woodworks, based in Sylvan Lake, Michigan.

    Gonzo and Amy also make stops at Jen's Hen House in St. Helen, as well as Iva's Chicken Dinners in Sterlling.
