Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Thursday, February 12.

Kicking off the day with some exciting local buzz, Traverse City Light and Power just hit a big milestone by approving their decarbonization framework, paving the way to 100 percent renewable energy by 2040. This means cleaner air for our cherry orchards and beaches, lower bills down the road, and putting TC at the forefront of green innovation, just like we were the first in Michigan to set that bold goal back in 2018. Meanwhile, Traverse City Area Public Schools is eyeing sustainability pushes too, from energy-efficient buildings to eco-programs thatll inspire the next generation of stewards for our Great Lakes shores.

Shifting to brighter spots, our arts scene is exploding with must-see exhibits open today. Head to Crooked Tree Arts Center for the Between Us winter show in the Cornwell Gallery, diving into themes of connection and distance thatll spark real conversations over coffee. At the Dennos Museum Center on NMCs campus, Trilobite Treasures brings Paleozoic fossils to life, telling epic stories of ancient seas right here in our backyardperfect for families imagining what swam where our trails now wind. And dont miss the Twelve-By-Twelve Artist Guild Member Salon, showcasing local talents in a fresh, intimate setup that celebrates our creative community.

Just down in Benzonia at 4 PM, catch The History of Crystal Highlands at Mills Community House, a fun dive into our snowy past that connects us to the trails we ski today. Over in Petoskey, the At Home quilt exhibit at Crooked Trees Bonfield Gallery runs through February 28, featuring Erick Wolfmeyers stunning works that turn fabric into heartfelt stories.
