Michigan's oldest working lighthouse. The lighthouse
was built, in 1814, by Lucius Lyon, one of
Michigan's two first U.S. Senators. Today, the
lighthouse is completely automated, with a range of
16 miles, and flashes for one-half second for every
15 seconds. After more than 170 years since the
first light was exhibited at Fort Gratiot a silent
sentinel still beams out to guide a new generation
of mariners. In 1971 the Michigan Historical
Commission named Fort Gratiot Lighthouse a
Historical Site.

Fire
& Ice Art Education Festival
Dedicated to educating and exploring art from the
earth. Fire & Ice is a FREE Art Education Festival
unlike any other. Our vision is to enrich the
quality of life that leads to a growing economy,
increased educational opportunities, and cultural
tourism.
The recent poor economic conditions have changed
the landscape for where people would consider investing their money
to receive secure, continuous, and profitable returns on their
investment dollars.
Traditional investment opportunities look bleak
1. Real Estate has declined rapidly and is still in
the downtrend.
2. The Stock Markets have all taken downward hits
and are still very volatile and iffy.
3. The Commodities Markets have all risen to record
highs and might still have some ways to go, but the risk reward for
additional investments looks shaky.
4. Interest Bearing Accounts yield very low rates
that are approaching levels below inflation.
