SUMMARY:Olivia Van Goor Sings the Music of Anita O’Day
DESCRIPTION:Olivia Van Goor returns to Kerrytown Concert House for her third appearance\, this time honoring one of her greatest vocal inspirations: Anita O’Day.

SUMMARY:AQUATIC INSECTS: ECOLOGY AND USE IN DETERMINING STREAM WATER QUALITY
DESCRIPTION:Aquatic insects\, such as mayflies\, caddisflies\, stone flies\, and dragonflies\, are cold-blooded organisms that mostly live on stream bottoms\, in gravel\, fallen tree leaves\, and woody debris.  While most other insects are dormant during the winter months\, most Michigan aquatic insects are active winter feeders which metamorphose into adults in the spring and complete their life cycle.  Join Hannah-Maria Jacques\, Ph.D.\, from the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology\, and Sumengen Sutomo\, DrPH\, from Bangung Indonesia Foundation\, for this informative presentation. We will sample two streams to show examples of the local aquatic insect fauna.  Such insects are used by states and federal government to determine the biological integrity of the stream or lake being sampled.  The program is all outdoors\, so dress for the weather.  A hand lens\, or magnifying glass\, will be helpful.  We will meet at the lower parking lot and carpool to the sampling sites from there. \nCost: $2/person or $5/family. Eddy Discovery Center\, 17030 Bush Rd. in the Waterloo Recreation Area near Chelsea.  Program limited to 15 participants.  The building is closed so program will be entirely outdoors.  Please register for this program by emailing waterloonha@gmail.com with your name\, phone number and number of people attending.

SUMMARY:John Heffron: Michigan Made. Nationally Funny.
DESCRIPTION:Comedian John Heffron is coming to Brighton — and if you’ve got Michigan roots\, this show will feel like catching up with an old friend. Raised in South Lyon and a proud Eastern Michigan University alum\, John brings his 35+ years of stand-up experience back to where it all started. \nYou’ve seen his comedy specials\, caught him on The Tonight Show or Comedy Central… and honestly\, you might’ve gone to high school with him. Or wiped out on the bunny hill at Mt. Brighton right next to him. Either way\, his stories just feel familiar. \nHis comedy is clean-ish\, nostalgic\, and packed with relatable moments for anyone navigating life\, aging\, technology\, and the weird joy of being “kinda” grown up. \n🎤 Winner of NBC’s Last Comic Standing\, a Q95 radio favorite\, and a trusted headliner for corporate events across the country\, John brings his signature Americana Comedy—real-life\, story-driven\, no-politics stand-up that hits home. \nThis show checks all the boxes when you’re looking to: \n\n Catch up with friends without yelling over a bar\n Press pause on the stress and just laugh\n Get out of the house and still be in bed by 11\n Feel seen\, without being singled out\n Share something fun and funny with your parents\, your partner\, or your crew\n When John’s back in Michigan\, his shows sell out fast. So rally your friends\, get a sitter\, and grab your tickets now.\n\nVETERANS CONNECTED \n10% of ticket proceeds go to Veterans Connected\, a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization\, with the mission to support Veterans and their families\, especially with suicide prevention. Services provided are financial assistance\, home repairs\, transportation\, and spiritual support. \nVeterans Connected is an all-volunteer board founded in 2019 with the mission to reduce the suicide rate\, which is currently at 44 per day\, by reducing the stressors. Stressors can be car or home repairs\, rent\, mortgage or utility bills\, a ramp\, or simply a safety rail. Every Veteran assisted has been refused help by the traditional services before Veterans Connected steps in and they have provided over $750\,000 in support since September 2019. USA Today 2024 voted Top three charities in Metro Detroit.
