Good morning, Battle Creek.

The second Battle Creek Cereal Sale of 2025 will take place Friday, June 13 at Full Blast at 35 Hamblin Avenue from 2 to 4 p.m. Post Consumer Brands and WK Kellogg Company sponsor the event which offers 10,000 boxes of cereal at $2 each—proceeds will help The Haven of Rest Ministries, United Way of South Central Michigan and Women’s Co-Op.

Michigan's woodlands and yards include six poisonous plants—giant hogweed, poison ivy, poison oak, wild parsnip, poison sumac and poison hemlock—that can cause painful skin rashes, blisters and severe allergic reactions, so residents should avoid contact when outdoors this summer.
