• Step Into a Fairytale This Summer at the Mid-Michigan Enchanted Forest (midmichigannow.com) — A major summer draw is returning just outside Vassar, with the Mid-Michigan Enchanted Forest bringing three themed weekends of fairytales, knights, pirates, and live shows in July. Families can explore wooded paths, meet costumed characters, shop over 60 vendors, and enjoy food and a working tavern at 7464 Frankenmuth Road in Vassar. Ticket prices vary by age, with discounts for seniors, military, and young children. 
• Michigan lawmakers revive push to legalize physician-assisted suicide (ironmountaindailynews.com) — Michigan lawmakers are again debating whether to allow physician-assisted suicide, and Vassar’s state representative Matthew Bierlein is among Republicans opposing the proposal as a morally troubling “fringe” idea. Supporters argue it would give terminally ill adults more control, while medical groups and Right to Life of Michigan raise ethical concerns and point to Canada’s experience as a warning. The article also lists several crisis hotlines for anyone needing mental health support.
