"Spend an unforgettable night with Steve Burns, the original host of Blue's Clues, in an intimate, moderated conversation that’s equal parts heartfelt, humorous, and nostalgic.
Beloved by a generation for his gentle curiosity and genuine warmth, Steve steps back into the spotlight to reflect on the unexpected cultural impact of Blue’s Clues, the moment he said goodbye, and the journey that followed—from children’s television icon to musician, actor, and viral internet sensation. With candid stories, behind-the-scenes insights, and thoughtful reflections on growing up (for him and for us), this evening offers fans a rare opportunity to reconnect with a familiar friend.
Whether you grew up watching him search for clues or discovered him through his moving messages years later, this special event invites you to celebrate connection, curiosity, and the enduring power of kindness.
Bring your questions—and maybe your handy dandy notebook—for a night you won’t forget.
Guiding the evening is Stefani Bishop, celebrated Kalamazoo radio personality, bringing her signature warmth and insight to the stage."

The MiCorps AIS Detection Blitz is a statewide event happening June 29 through July 12, 2026, and it is an easy way to turn time on the water into something meaningful. Participation can happen from anywhere in Michigan.
Whether you are on the water over the July 4th holiday with family and friends, or just enjoying a quiet moment on your own, you can take part. If you see something in the water that looks unfamiliar or that you know to be invasive, just snap a photo and upload it using the free iNaturalist app. No experience or identification skills are needed.
Once you join the project on the iNaturalist app, anything you upload during the event dates is automatically added to a statewide map of aquatic invasive species observations. Your photos help show where aquatic invasive species are appearing across Michigan. This information can be used by scientists, resource managers, and local organizations to better understand distribution, track changes over time, and inform management efforts.
It is something anyone can do. It is easy to turn into a game with kids, something to keep an eye out for with friends, something to get competitive with, or simply a reason to take a closer look at the water you already enjoy.
MiCorps, the Michigan Clean Water Corps, is a program of the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy and is administered through Michigan State University Extension. The program works with volunteers and partners across the state to monitor and better understand Michigan’s water resources.
