Firstarrow-
you should try "Cornwell's Turkey Farm" for a great place to eat and you could try the Binder Park Zoo to see some neat animals! Remember also, Battle Creek is the "cereal city" so you can take a tour of Kellogg's! Have a good time.

Kelloggs is a neat tour.  Just west in Kalamazoo is the Air Zoo; plane museum.

If you have access to a car take M37 north to Hastings, Michigan and go to Bob's Gun Shop. It is west of town about 1 mile. I believe that is still M37. They have a big trad archery department. Hastings is about 25-30 miles north. I haven't been there for about 5 years but they have everything. E-mail Arwin on here cause he lives in Hastings.

I now work for Kellogg company but still need to do the tour.

I'm about 20 miles south of BC. You are welcome to swing by and try out the dreaded block course and hang around.

The Michigan Whitetail Museum is a pretty cool little place. Its about a 45 minute freeway drive for you, right off I94 in Grass Lake. My kid loves stopping there every time we go to Detroit, I don't mind stopping either..... Lol!  They have some awesome mounts, you can hand feed the deer as well, there is one giant albino there that's just amazing to look at! You can also pick up a set of rattling antlers there as well pretty cheap! A nice little place to visit!
