 Whether you call it the Blue Water Area, Michigan's Thumbcoast, or just the Port Huron area, this part of Michigan is both amazingly blue-ti-ful, and chock full of fun things to do. We had a great time recording this episode of Behind the Mitten, as we were lucky enough to get to set up right below the beauitul Blue Water Bridge in Port Huron. Let's discover the blue together!

We'll start off the show with an overview of the area from our friends at the Blue Water Visitors Bureau. Joining us are Michael Hensley, President and CEO of the Blue Water Area CVB, and Katie Stepp, a Port Huron secret beach expert, as well as the Vice President of Marketing for BWA. We'll learn about Thomas Edison's connection to Port Huron, and hear about the entertainment district downtown, including Mooncursers, a very cool bar you'll want to be able to find. We'll also hear about how you can win a free hotel stay in Port Huron, and just what the Quay Street experience is. Stay tuned, because Katie will be back to talk about her favorite secret beaches in segment four and you don't want to miss that.

The Wrigley Center located right downtown offers up a true entertainment complex, and something all new for Port Huron. Find multiple bars, an arcade, restaurants, retail shopping, and even a fowling arena here. We talk to Darren Lee, the energetic general manager of this hot spot, and maybe even go to a "secret" speakeasy with him, a very cool place called The Laundry Room.



Captain George Hayes stops by, and holy smokes, what an interview. We learned so much about what it's like to captain a boat through from Port Huron to Ohio that we are planning another visit to do exactly that with Captain George. Yes, he captains the boats that come into Port Huron, riding alongside and then jumping on, or climbing the ladder to join the crew. He's so good that we had to do a whole special segment with him....so you can find additonal content if you are interested. We salute Captain George, and can't wait to hang out again.

We'll finish off the show, and our night in Port Huron experiencing Quay Street from Mooncursers, which has a very cool view of the river and Port Huron visitors. We'll talk with owner Gene Harrison who is something of a rennaissance man, and definitely someone who is invested in and loves Port Huron. After our visit, we can understand why.
