Behind the Mitten - Episode 705
"Celebrating 10 years as Michigan's premier radio show and podcast."

On this episode, John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman travel to St. Helen for the unveiling of “The Fish,” a striking 6-foot Bluegill sculpture installed to represent the natural beauty and identity of the Richfield Township and St. Helen area. It is the first of five unique sculptures to be placed throughout Roscommon County as part of the “Fresh Waters Trail” — a new tourism initiative aimed at celebrating our local waters and attracting visitors to the region. The sculpture was handcrafted by Bob Batchik of Sunfish Woodworks, based in Sylvan Lake, Michigan.

Gonzo and Amy also make stops at Jen's Hen House in St. Helen, as well as Iva's Chicken Dinners in Sterlling.
