Celebrations

The School Food Tour arrived safely in Houghton, Michigan last Friday, May 11th!

72 students from Houghton Middle School and High School pedaled with me along my “Final Mile”. It was a fantastic turnout complete with healthy snacks and an enthusiastic crowd. Stay tuned for updates as I make my rounds through the many local schools this week.

One week from today, on Friday, May 11th, the School Food Tour will be complete! As I take a day in Mackinaw City to rest my weary body and my on-the-verge-of-stress-fracturing feet, my feelings waver between relief and nostalgia, and I am doing my best to savor the last few days of life on the road.

A whirlwind of activity awaits my arrival in the Keweenaw. Here’s a quick overview of the happenings up North:

  • Wed, May 9th – SFT student presentations, Marquette
  • Friday, May 11th – SFT’s Final Miles, Houghton. At 1 p.m. join myself, community members and Houghton students to pedal the final SFT mile and celebrate at a casual reception. Ride departs from Kestner Park, party at East Waterfront Park through 7 p.m. Bikes and healthy snacks to share are encouraged!

  • Thursday, May 17th – Green Film Series screening of “Food” & discussion facilitated by myself, 7 p.m. at MTU’s Fischer Hall
