The Marquette Downtown District will once again be providing a safe and fun opportunity for children to trick or treat. On Saturday, October 26, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., families can bring little ghosts and goblins door to door collecting goodies from downtown businesses. 

Participating locations will have orange "Welcome Trick or Treaters" signs in their windows. Last year, more than 1,500 children and parents visited the district.

Following trick or treat, the City of Marquette and Downtown Development Authority will host the second annual Halloween Spectacle, a large-scale community outdoor performance of giant puppetry, percussion and theatrical dance. This year's theme is Heroes versus Villains and the community is encouraged to dress as their favorite character and pick a side. As the evening grows dark, the community is invited to join in processions throughout the City starting at 6:40 p.m. and converging in the Marquette Commons at 7 p.m.  For more information, contact the Marquette Downtown Development Authority at 906-228-9475 or visit www.downtownmarquette.org.   

Lizzie Corser is the Marketing and Administrative Assistant for Marquette Downtown Development Authority. She can be reached at [email protected]. This was sent to MQT Social Scene as a press release.

Northern Michigan University will change its branding campaign from the popular long-running Northern Naturally to Fearless Minds. This is expected to take place in January 2014. The first news of the change came through a single-article blog called Long Live Northern Naturally on October 20. The site was shared through social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter and sparked a Change.org petition with over 500 signatures at time of publishing. MQTSocialScene talked with the blog creator, NMU junior Chandler Countryman, about why she created the website.

Northern Michigan University’s Human-Centered Design student work is on display in October in the Huron Mountain Club Gallery on the main floor of the Peter White Public Library.

This collection of design concepts is the work of current junior and senior level students within the Human-Centered design program at NMU. The emphasis of the program focuses on the development of concepts for products, systems and services that we encounter on a daily basis.

Students work through a creative process in order to identify appropriate solutions to the problem at hand. Whether in collaborative or individual exercises, the students explore a range of possible solutions that are developed through research and then visualize concepts through design sketching, computer modeling, three-dimensional printing and crafting physical models or fully functional prototypes. For more information on the NMU program visit www.art.nmu.edu.

The exhibit is available for viewing during regular library hours through October 30. For more information call the Peter White Public Library at 226-4318 or visit www.pwpl.info.
