Art in a Bottle: The Art, Collaboration, and Creative Process Behind Beer and Cider Labels
Eeva Redmond, Creative Director and Co-Founder of Elder Piper Beer & Cider

There is an equal measure of creativity and chemistry in beer and cider making. The art on the label reflects the artistry in the bottle. At Elder Piper, an award-winning Petoskey-based brewery and cidery, each bottled brand features original art by northern Michigan artists. Get a peek inside the process from the prompt sent to the artist to the ways the art reflects the final product. Eeva will share insights and images of the artistic collaborations behind the bottles at Elder Piper Beer & Cider.

Honoring the Past, Building our Future
Julie Joles, Education Director, Camp Daggett

In 2025, Camp Daggett reached a remarkable milestone - 100 years of inspiring curiosity, courage, and connection to the natural world. Our centennial wasn't just a celebration of a date on the calendar; it was a celebration of every camper who discovered new strengths, every staff member who guided with heart, and every family who trusted us to create meaningful experiences. Across our grounds, laughter and joy filled the air, from canoeing on sparkling waters to quiet moments in the woods.

As we look back on a century of adventures, friendships, and growth, we are profoundly grateful for the generations who have shaped our legacy and inspired to carry the spirit of Camp Daggett into the next 100 years.

This event is in-person and online via Zoom and Facebook. No registration required.
