Michigan: Alicia Silverstone, William Shatner and More In Town This Weekend

If you are a child of the ’90s – or, heck, any generation, really – you’ve probably seen the movie Clueless at least a few times. I remember seeing it…

If you are a child of the '90s - or, heck, any generation, really - you've probably seen the movie Clueless at least a few times. I remember seeing it when I was old enough to see "grown-up" movies, and as a girl about to be a teenager, I loved every minute of it.

As it turns out, one big celebrity from Clueless will be in Michigan this weekend, along with a bunch of big names. It's going to be pretty easy to get star-struck in the Mitten this weekend.

The big stars are coming into town for the 2022 Motor City Comic Con is set for Friday (May 13) through Sunday (May 15) at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. Tickets are available here.

Alicia Silverstone, of course, will be the Clueless star at the event. "As if!" She'll be there on Saturday and Sunday. In addition to Clueless, she is also known for her appearances in “Batman & Robin” and “Blast from the Past.” Another big name, William Shatner, will be at Motor City Comic Con on Friday and Saturday. He's known for his role as Captain Kirk in "Star Trek," as well as appearances in “Boston Legal” and “T.J. Hooker.”

Other famous names slated to appear at the event include Freddie Stroma, Brenton Thwaites, Aaron Sagers, Malcolm Goodwin, Christopher Eccleston, Taryn Manning, Adam Cole, Ruby Soho, Freddie Prinze Jr., Katie Cassidy, Caity Lotz, Chandler Riggs, Danny Trejo and Carey Jones. In addition, there will be a “Superman” reunion with Aaron Smolinski, Marc McClure, Sarah Douglas, Jack O’Halloran, Mark Pillow, Mariel Hemingway and Damian McLawhorn. A "Scream" reunion is also on tap, with Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich and Jamie Kennedy Matthew Lillard. For more information, visit the event's official website.

It's almost camping season, and it's no secret that Michiganders love to camp. Michigan is one of the most beautiful states for camping, as evidenced by our many great parks, campgrounds and lakes. I'm actually not a bit camper, but I do know it's a super popular activity this time of year.

Pure Michigan is always on top of the best vacation spots in the Mitten, and they've put together a list of 10 of the most beautiful campgrounds in Michigan.

The No. 1 campground on their list is Tahquamenon Falls State Park in Paradise, Michigan. Of the area, Pure Michigan states, "Take in the sights of one of the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi at Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the Eastern Upper Peninsula. The Upper Falls stretches 50 feet high and more than 200 feet wide, deservingly making it a must-see attraction. But with more than 40 miles of hiking trails, 13 inland lakes and approximately 20,000 acres of natural area, there’s more to love about the park than just its majestic waterfall." That sounds lovely to me!

Read on for the full list of 10 beautiful campground in Michigan to visit this season, courtesy of Pure Michigan. Out of this list, I most want to visit the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore in Empire. I've heard it's one of the most gorgeous spots in America, so that's on my to-visit list at some point. I've actually been to Sleepy Hollow State Park in Laingsburg for a hike and definitely recommend it.
