"Trust the Tradition" - Bonus Podcast
Aug. 29, 2025

Join John Gonzalez and Amy Sherman of Behind the Mitten as they spend some time at Jay's Sporting Goods in Gaylord. Jay's has been an outdoors lover's paradise since it first opened in 1971 in Clare, Michigan.

On this special bonus podcast, Gonzo and Amy visit a satellite location in Gaylord with their friend and special guest co-host, Paul Beachnau from the Gaylord Tourism Bureau.

In this episode, General Manager Mark Copeland gives them an exclusive tour of his store. Among many of the latest toys and gadgets for hiking, fishing and hunting, they discover the fascinating world of Yooperlites, unique glowing rocks that are a true treasure of the Upper Peninsula.

Tune in for an adventure filled with local insights and hidden gems!
