Episode Synopsis

Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Wednesday, October 29th, 2025.Starting the day with a reminder to steer clear of Linwood Lane and Crestwood Lane, where a significant house fire has drawn a heavy emergency response. Fortunately, everyone made it out safely, but please avoid the area this morning as crews are still on scene and managing the aftermath. Large plumes of smoke are visible, so be safe on your morning commutes.If you want to start your Wednesday with fresh local flavors, head over to the Sara Hardy Downtown Farmers Market at Parking Lot B at Cass Street and East Grandview Parkway. The market runs until noon, offering the very last taste of the season’s produce, artisan baked goods, and maybe even a few last-minute pumpkins for your porch.Speaking of pumpkins, if you still need to carve yours, Oryana West is hosting a free pumpkin carving event this afternoon from 3:30 to 6:30. They’ll provide all the materials—just bring your creativity and dress for the weather.Art lovers will find plenty of inspiration today. Glen Arbor Arts Center is featuring Carol Spaulding’s “Something to Smile About” mixed media paintings from 9 a.m., while the Oliver Art Center in Frankfort showcases “Elemental: Earth, Fire, Air, Water” with works from Michigan artists. And if you’re looking for a thought-provoking exhibit, the HIStory / HERstory show at the GAAC Main Gallery invites you to reconsider who gets to tell the stories of our past.Families: Get ready for the Halloween fun ramping up all over town. Central United Methodist Church continues its Trunk or Treat at 10 a.m., followed by family-friendly activities at the YMCA’s Fall Festival—both great options for the little ones. There’s also a Halloween Parade at the Traverse Area District Library, with games and crafts starting just before lunch. Later, join a special Halloween dance for friends of GTI, Life Skills Center, Brickways, and Disability Network at the Elks Lodge. And if you like your Halloween with a little less fright, tomorrow night’s NO SCARE Night at Screams in the Dark Haunted Attractions promises all the atmosphere with none of the jumps.Venture a little farther out, and Brownson Park in Kingsley hosts their weekly farmers market starting at 3 p.m., with over thirty vendors, live music, and hot food—a perfect way to pick up dinner and some local flavor.A quick heads-up for TV news watchers, WPBN and WGTU will be off air this morning from 10 until noon for a network upgrade, so plan your local news fix accordingly.As always, Traverse City’s calendar is packed. Whether you’re celebrating the end of the harvest, hunting for holiday gifts at local craft shows, or breathing in the crisp fall air at a lantern-lit hike, there’s a place for you in our community this week.This has been Traverse City Local Frequency.
