For the snowbirds coming back to the area soon, the Blue Ribbon Bakery is sporting new quarters. They've relocated to 121 East Cedar Ave. in downtown Gladwin. For anyone new to the area they make the best homemade baked goods, and their soups are homemade and delicious too ( today's special was Beef Noodle), you team that with one of their great sandwiches and oh it's so good! It's a great little bakery with friendly hometown flavor I'm sure you'll enjoy. Try their Chicken & Dumpling soup, yum. 
Call ahead to order your favorite flavor of pie or just stop in and take a chance it still may be on their shelves. There's always something yummy to choose from. If you call ahead of time to order you'll be sure to have it. If you expect to just drop in and ask for your favorite it probably disappeared hours ago. By the end of the day their shelves are getting bare and they're working on the next days orders.
Moving into town was a smart business decision and one that I'm sure is
keeping them very busy. Stop by and have lunch with Beth Heintz and the girls or stop in for a breakfast roll, soup, or cup of tea. It's an experience you'll repeat again and again.

Innocent animals who look to their owner's for care are being left behind to fend for themselves in abandoned homes. Some left out in the cold, tied or staked out, not given the chance to forge for themselves. Yes these are the most recent victims of foreclosures. 
Gladwin has not seen pets left behind in their homes as yet, although the animal shelter is seeing an increase in owners feeling they have no choice but to turn their pets over as they struggle to find housing for their families.
Please keep in mind as you see abandoned homes in your area to pay attention to the yard and surroundings. If you see or hear barking or whining call your local animal shelter or authorities to investigate.
Saddened by the hopelessness felt by those who feel they have no choice but to turn their pets over to animal shelters I spoke with our local shelter. They suggested I post the web address of petfinder hoping those looking for a new pet might consider adopting one of the many needing our help. The web address is http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/MI547.html. Type in the animal you would like to adopt, a dog, cat, or use the drop down to view all that are available, type in your zip code and it will take you to your local animal shelter page. Photo courtesy of Gladwin Animal Shelter. This little boys name is Bones and he would love to be your best friend.
Families in crisis, animal experts urge you to find a friend, a neighbor or a shelter but never leave your pet behind with no one to care for him.

ABOUT MICHIGAN Area, 58,216 sq mi (150,779 sq km). The northern Michigan wilds, numerous inland lakes, and some 3,000 mi (4,800 km) of shoreline, combined with a pleasantly cool summer climate, have long attracted vacationers. In the winter Michigan's snow-covered hills bring skiers from all over the Midwest. Places of interest in the state include Greenfield Village, a re-creation of a 19th-century American village, and the Henry Ford Museum, both at Dearborn ; Pictured Rocks and Sleeping Bear Dunes national lakeshores; and Isle Royal National Park. Manufacturing accounts for 30% of Michigan's economic production, more than twice as much as any other sector. The manufacture of automobiles and transportation equipment is by far the state's chief industry, and Detroit, Dearborn, Flint, Pontiac, and Lansing are historic centers of automobile production, although the industry is now in dramatic decline throughout the state. The automobile industry's mass-production methods, developed here, were the core of the early-20th-century industrial revolution. The chemical industry in Midland is one of the nation's largest; Kalamazoo is an important paper-manufacturing and pharmaceuticals center; Grand Rapids is noted for its furniture, and Battle Creek for its breakfast foods.
