Around Town
SHOP LOCAL Lynn & Perin Mercantile is the spot to find a gourmet gift for the foodie in your life, and The Bookstore has a huge selection to peruse, from children’s books to travel. Don’t forget a stop at the Elizabeth Lane Oliver Center for the Arts, home to Mary’s Gift Gallery featuring Michigan-made works and artists.
MAKE MERRY We love the menu at Stormcloud Brewing Company, especially since pairings are recommended for every item. Warm pretzel bites go well with a Birdwalker Blonde, while a salted caramel cookie is the perfect complement to the B. Sirius Dubbel. stormcloudbrewing.com
SANTA’S SECRET Support a local institution and give the gift of movie magic this season with a gift card to The Garden Theater. Choose your amount and order online for the perfect stocking stuffer or host gift. gardentheater.org
WINTER WONDERLAND Grab your snowshoes and head 10 minutes south of town to Green Point Dunes Nature Preserve. Nearly three miles of trail winding through forest and meadow will lead you to stunning views of Lake Michigan. gtrlc.org

FRANKFORT
A much-loved craft brewery with a penchant for ugly Christmas sweaters, a renovated 1920s theater, fabulous eateries and fun shops— Frankfort is downright jolly.
