Photo of the Week: Michigan Central Station Winter Fest 2019

With winter finally arriving in southeast Michigan this weekend with snow and cold temperatures, it was the right weekend for me to enjoy the inaugural Michigan Central Station Winter Festival, a new winter event hosted by Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan.

The free ten-day festival is open to the public, offering music, games, art, food trucks, ice carving, retail shops, and a fantastic 3-D light show that displays on the front of the building at night.

Roasting a marshmallow outside for s’mores in one degree Farenheit wasn’t exactly what I planned for a weekend evening, but I can finally say I did it!

I'm sitting down next to an outside fire pit, roasting a marshmallow, in freezing cold temperatures at night.

I was grateful for the heated tent to bring warmth back to my fingers after standing outside to take photos of the light show.
