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.

    Tahquamenon Falls State Park encompasses close to 50,000 acres stretching over 13 miles. Most of this is undeveloped woodland without roads, buildings or power lines. The centerpiece of the park, and the very reason for its existence, is the Tahquamenon River with its waterfalls. The Upper Falls is one the largest waterfalls east of the Mississippi.
