December 20, 2011 CHANCELLOR’S WEEKEND MEMO Number 814 As we approach the holiday break and the transition between academic terms at the District, there is a need to acknowledge the contributions of each member of our community that has made this an exceptional educational institution. Those efforts are reflected in the significant demand for programs and services as evidenced in the enrollment growth we are currently experiencing. The number of students registering for Spring 2012 classes exceeded our expectations on the first day of early registration and continues to increase above levels previously seen. This suggests that we have a tremendous opportunity and obligation to ensure that this District maintains high quality programs, instruction and training for our constituents. Skiing Anyone?

Rare Pewabic Pottery Uncovered in Ann Arbor Collector's Home
PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 2, 2020 DuMouchelle Art Galleries 409 East Jefferson Ave. Detroit, MI 48226 313.963.6255 www.dumoart.com RARE PEWABIC POTTERY UNCOVERED IN ANN ARBOR COLLECTOR’S HOME Pewabic and Other Art from the Robert Schweizer Collection Offered at Auction January 17th, 18th & 19th Detroit, MI January, 2020 – On January 17th, 18th and 19th, DuMouchelles will auction the second half of the Robert Schweizer collection. Mr. Schweizer is a prominent Ann Arbor collector who was also the proprietor of a legendary Detroit restaurant, Schweizer’s. The remaining items in his collection include over 60 Pewabic pottery pieces. Several of the Pewabic pieces were made by Ira and Ella Peters. Ella Peters (1901-1994) was the Bookkeeper and Assistant to Pewabic founder, Mary Chase (nee Perry) Stratton until Mrs. Stratton’s death in 1961. Mrs. Peters stayed on as an advisor until pottery operations were gifted by the son of the founder, Horace Caulkins, to Michigan State University in 1969. Joan D. Walker, President of DuMouchelle Art Galleries, said: “Mr. Schweizer, who was a personal friend of Mrs. Stratton and Mr. and Mrs. Peters, has one of the largest collections of Pewabic we’ve handled in a long time. Ella Peters was an essential part of the Pewabic operation as well as a trusted friend and confidant to Mrs. Stratton. Many believe that Ella Peters was essential in maintaining the company’s financial health after the Great Depression and, again, after Mrs. Stratton’s death. It is because of the dedication of Ella Peters, the generosity of the Caulkins family, and willingness of Michigan State University to maintain pottery operations until the Pewabic Society was formed, that the Pottery is in existence to this day.

Commission Agenda
July 5, 2016 Commission Agenda ~AKLAND COUNTY PARKS Oakland County Parks Historical Spotlight The Oakland County Fair is one of the oldest in the nation, tracing its roots back to the Oakland Agricultural Society, founded in 1830. During the Civil War, soldiers trained at the fairground property in Pontiac. A sign at Saginaw and Fairgrove streets commemorates that history. The fair moved to Milford prior to the turn of the 20th century, where it stayed until the 1930s. In the 30s, the fair returned to Pontiac, where it relocated several times through the years to sites such as the State Hospital grounds and even Oakland County Road Commission property. In 1949 the fair was renamed the Oakland County 4-H Fair. At the time, it was located on an 80-acre farm at the corner of Perry and Walton, in Pontiac. In 1971, the Oakland County 4-H Fair moved again to its current location at Springfield Oaks County Park. In 2008, in order to appeal to a larger population, the "4-H" was removed from the name. Oakland County Fair activities and great food from fair vendors combine to foster memories and family traditions. Stop by fair mainstay, Jack's Lemonade Stand; sink your teeth into delicious broasted chicken prepared by Kevin Bechler; and don't forget to save room for dessert at the Cook's Farm Dairy ice cream booth. YUM! Also at Springfield Oaks Built prior to 1872, the historic James Harvey Davis House served as the residence for the golf course caretaker until 1938, and then as the golf course clubhouse until 1973.
