I don’t think I’m alone when I say that Fall is my favorite season in Michigan. The leaves turn spectacular colors, the cider mills are bustling with activity and the pigskin begins to get tossed around in earnest.
But with the kids going back to school and our lives in general getting busier after a relaxed summer, you can miss what makes autumn in Michigan special if you’re not careful.
So with that in mind, #FallTogether with us this season and check out these 7 things you must do in Michigan this fall.
1. Take a Fall Color Tour

There’s no other state quite like Michigan when it comes to appreciating the beauty of autumn as trillions and trillions of leaves change color from green, to gold, to red.
Find a free weekend in late September or early October and hit the open road to enjoy Fall in Michigan at it’s best.
If you don’t want to map out your own route, head over to the Michigan.org website and use one of their pre-planned fall color tour routes.
Every year after I draft my fantasy football team I sit back and say to myself “yep, this year is my year!”.
And what’s not to feel good about? I did my research, I feel confident in my picks and the draft website projects me to finish towards the top of the league so It should be a breeze making it into playoffs.
Nothing to be afraid of here, right?
But then week 1 arrives, and some ominous things begin to happen to my fantasy football roster.
At first I write them off as coincidence and no big deal, but week after week it just keeps getting worse.
Tell me if you’ve seen this scary movie before.
Four years ago a tradition was started at LaFontaine Cadillac Buick GMC with an event that we now call the LaFontaine Family Fun Fest.
Local residents and the families of our employees were invited in to the dealership to enjoy a safe and fun alternative to Halloween trick-or-treating.
Each year since, the Fun Fest has been an event that we all look forward to.
Because it has always been such an enjoyable event for kids and adults alike, it made sense to hold a Fun Fest at more of our locations.
October has arrived, and with it one of the greatest holidays to ever start with an ‘H’…….Halloween!
There are many things to love about this occasion: the spooky decorations, eating enough candy to help a dentist retire, the fact that it’s almost Christmas (although, people have been saying that since July).
Yet perhaps the most defining part of Halloween, is the large variety of costumes that people sport.
Everyone loves dressing up for Halloween. Whether you’re going as a scary vampire, or going as that adorable Snow White/Prince Charming duo, costumes are a staple of the holiday. What better way to go all out than by dolling up your car for Halloween as well?
Here are a few classic “costume ideas” for your car:

4. Trace design by poking holes with a sharp awl or needle tool then remove pattern.
5. Cut along the dotted line of your pattern. Push the cut-out, dark gray features gently from the inside of the pumpkin.
6. Place a candle or LED light inside the pumpkin to create an eerie glow.
