While visiting friends in the area, we were able to get tickets to see "Irish Christmas in…read moreAmerica." Besides the playhouse, the show was outstanding. I'm not sure about the history of the building. Like most places in this area, I suspect it was an older building that was updated. They did a great job. The building is beautiful. While waiting, you are in an open space. They have a small snack bar, there was a table of wares the group was selling, and lots of people congregating. (All wore masks except for two people.) When you do enter the theater, you find your seats. The seats were comfortable. The show started on time and the musicians and dancers did their things. The sound system was marvelous. In sum, this was a great and unexpected experience for a small town. If you find yourself in Whitehall, MI, this is not one to miss.

"I believe that in a great city, or even in a small city or a village, a great theater is the…read moreoutward and visible sign of an inward and probable culture." --- Sir Laurence Olivier Born of countless endowments and preserved through many, many more, this tiny beacon of culture and the finer arts has born witness over the years to the rise of many generations of aspiring, amateur, and professional actors. I, myself, once took to the stage before a full house, and let me be the first (but hopefully not the last!) to say that beneath the lights and under the gaze of your audience, there is no greater thrill than to present your learned story with all of the passion and excitement that you have been saving up to that point! I've also sat in the seats of this wonderful ninety-three year old theater and taken in several shows - the seating, stage, balcony, music pit...all of it is lovingly preserved by amazing volunteers and donors, giving it an antiquated feel that you simply cannot replicate with modern materials. This is the genuine theater experience, and White Lake has it right under their noses. Sadly, there exists no more under-appreciated landmark in all of the White Lake area than the Howmet Playhouse. Donations are constantly being collected, but it seems as though repairs are slow in coming on some occassions. While the money coming in to the Playhouse have been enough to keep it going, it is nothing short of a crime that there exists no established subsidies for its continual maintenance and care. I'm not sure if the White Lake Chamber of Commerce realizes this or not, but looking at the area from the outside, there is VERY little to keep people's attention in regard to tourism. Treasures like the Howmet are the lifeblood of the tourism trade, and more effort should be made in utilizing the playhouse in promoting unique performances that tell the story of the White Lake area. Someone in an official capacity really needs to stand up and take this wonderful building more seriously, realizing its importance in White Lake's existence. If you're in the area, I urge you to take in a show! It's more than just a nostalgic glimpse into the past for long-time residents - it's a piece of it's very history, and that history deserves respect. The Howmet is a truly entertaining venue that will transport you not only into the worlds presented on stage, but also into the past of this beautiful Michigan community.

We stumbled on this place after seeing the 'autumn harvest' signs. It became the highlight of our…read moretrip! Follow the signs to the main pumpkin patch and peruse the grounds till you find your favorite pumpkin, butternut squash, delicata squash, and more! These are the most unique pumpkins I have ever seen and I wish I lived closer to visit more often. Hours are listed 8-5pm on google because 'dawn to dusk everyday' isn't an option. But stop by anytime before dusk before it's all gone. Though Scholl's Farm is not certified organic yet, I can vouch for the organic practices used. What a relief to find an organic pick-your-own farm! We were fortunate to meet Stu, the 2nd generation farmer who runs the place with Connie. He explained to us everything he does and answered all my questions, sharing lovely stories of his parents who met at our cabins (Double JJ resort). We even got to see the newborn lambs up close. He even sold me some fresh chopped wood for a steal that I can't wait to use in our wedding as props. He is such a personable character that spending more time expected at his farm was not anticipated but definitely cherished. Can't wait to come back soon!

The theater is split down the middle with fancy chairs on the left and normal chairs on the right. The main issue was the sound. I'd be nervous to watch another movie at this theater if this was typical. Save your money and watch a movie at home with better sound.

My whole gang was overly excited to check out a blueberry farm and pick fresh blueberry! Let me tell you- this place did not disappoint! If you're in the area, this place is a must! A must, a must a MUST! The blueberries were fresh, delicious, and plentiful! The owners were awesome, friendly and a riot to talk too! We must have talked with the owner for 20 minutes before we even went into the field on our own to pick. We learned that him and his wife (Im soooo sorry I don't remember your names!! ) just recently, within the past few months! purchased this farm and moved here from Ann Arbor, with their 5 kids! They have never farmed before and really knew nothing, they were just going with it! His passion and enthusiasm for the farm got my whole family even more excited to get out there and pick! After our initial conversation he left us with the "the rules"..... Rule #1: eat as many blueberries as you can!! Rule #2: have FUN! That's it's! We spent a beautiful summer afternoon eating and picking blueberries until we wanted to burst! We picked so many that I had to freeze some in my Tavel trailer because I didn't have enough fridge space! In fact- I still have some of those blueberries in my freezer currently, and they are equally as delicious today as they were the hour I picked them! Oh and the price, they were dirt cheap, less than $2 a pound (check picture for exact price). It was a great experience, a beautiful farm and the family is amazing.
