As an Uncle, we all want to be a Funcle! You know, the FUN Uncle. But, to carry the title as the Funcle, it takes more than showing your superpowers on extraordinary adventures, or your creativity to places far beyond our imaginations, to be the Funcle – you have to include something educational, engaging and will win over the hearts of Mom and Dad.

Michigan has a wealth of cultural traditions that make up the fabric of the creative sector, and some of the greatest creations coming out of the Great Lakes have a moment to shine each year as the Michigan Traditions Arts Program of Michigan State University present the annual Michigan Heritage Awards.

Michigan is spoiled with the beauty of 4 seasons, dreamy tourist destinations, and a robust selection of arts and cultural offerings in every corner of it’s fresh coast - but many people would agree that the thousands of festivals that pop-up from as far south as Coldwater in the Lower Peninsula to the northern most point of Ironwood in the Upper Peninsula, are what make the mitten state such a vibrant place to call home and visit.
