Michigan Lodging & Tourism Association. The Pure Michigan Governor’s Conference, Kalamazoo, MI March 20-21-22, 2011.
It was a pleasure and honor to photograph this great event again this year. The three day conference was motivating, inspiring and showed a tremendous positive attitude toward the future of Michigan. All three days were packed with events and speakers that seem to see things moving forward in Michigan. Very positive outlook on all the new Pure Michigan’s promotional campaign adds that are delivering a beautiful vacation destination and we are ready with open arms to show them our warm and summertime fun hospitality.

I look forward to 2012 conference in Grand Rapids, tell then, a “Spactabulas” summer to all who live and visit in our beautiful state of Michigan.
Michigan’s two peninsulas offer a tremendous bounty of attractions, vista’s, man made and natural, from the Great Lakes beach towns to the beautiful Upper Peninsula above the Mackinac Bridge. Guest’s can look forward to new activities in 2011, including milestone anniversary celebrations.
The State of Michigan is blessed with the riches of unspoiled nature, the world’s longest freshwater coastline, lakes that look like oceans, shimmering beaches, miles of cherry orchards, spactabulas sunrises and sunsets, daytime skies of the deepest blue and nighttime skies scattered with stars everywhere.
