In Memoriam

We are sad to hear that long-time MW*C attendee and staffer Sheryl Adsit passed away on January 8, 2022. She ran the Fannish Video room and Fannish Video competition for many years.

(From Lori) Sheryl was a beloved friend and part of the MediaWest*Con fannish community and staff for so many years and it was always great seeing her in person at least once a year, before Covid and advancing ages and deteriorating health and finances complicated matters. I still remember her appearance as a contestant on Jeopardy, too; a dream many of us have held!

Condolences to family and fellow friends.

Finley’s to stay closed to Lansing diners

Finley’s Smokehouse adjacent to the Lansing Ramada will not reopen as a restaurant, but will go to strictly catering. They say the business has been headed in that direction, but the COVID-19 pandemic was  a major factor in this decision.
