If it's fall, you've got to visit the local cider mill

By Chris Turner -
The weather was wonderful, so we found ourselves out in Jack and Jenny's neighborhood, at Charlotte's Country Mill on Sunday. We enjoyed fresh cider, doughnuts, and intimate interactions with the entirety of Eaton County's bee population.
