Retirement & A Trailer Load

Yesterday Rick and I officially retired as owners of the Kalamazoo Living History Show, as Ethan and Paisley Yazel picked up all the files and equipment to put the show on. Thanks to Mike Yazel for helping load, and certainly to the memory of Larry Coin and to Carol Coin, who were the show's founders and set a tradition of excellence. It is such a good feeling to know that the show we love is in excellent hands. Ethan and Paisley will take the show into a very bright future. Living history is in GOOD hands. Please help us cheer Ethan and Paisley on in their new venture!
