The Jackson Downtown Development Authority presents the Grand River Farmers Market, today from 8am to 2pm. The market, featuring seasonal farmers and other vendors is at Grand River Marketplace, corner of Glick Highway and Mechanic Street in Downtown Jackson. At the Ella Sharp Museum, Charting the Wolverine: Works by Elaine Wilson is entering its final days. Exhibit ends September 9 in the Pyron Gallery. A series of prints created to map the Wolverine train from Ann Arbor to Battle Creek and on to Chicago. It is inspired by a 17th Century scroll map from Japan, the artist’s research into historical maps and atlases of Michigan, as well as her love of riding the train. In an age of GPS and Google Maps, this work takes us back to a time before digital media, while celebrating both the most iconic places along this route in southern Michigan, and the smaller, overlooked but still significant corners of our everyday experiences.

Our current weather pattern does not favor significant rainfall for at least another week, if not well beyond that actually. Even so we have two frontal systems coming our way and each could bring a some light spotty rainfall .The first is a weakening cold front that comes into the area early Sunday morning before totally dissipating. Then a stronger cold front comes through the area Labor Day evening. There could be some thunderstorms near and south of I-94 during the evening. That system could bring significant rainfall but it would likely be south of Michigan during the evening hours.
