John Kumjian from southeast Michigan, fondly known as "Mr. K" by his students, brings the rhythm to our tribute. With experience touring nationally, John's expertise in multiple instruments adds richness to the performance.
Chris Skellenger with 2,500 gigs and an old Martin guitar bearing the story of 75,000 songs, is set to resonate his musical passion with every note.

FRENCH VALLEY RACLETTE EXPERIENCE
Raclette cheese is a semi-hard, cow's milk cheese that originated in Switzerland. It has a distinctive, nutty flavor and a creamy texture that makes it perfect for melting. Traditionally, raclette cheese is melted and served hot on a special raclette grill or in a raclette oven. The cheese is usually placed on a tray under the heat source and once it's melted, it's scraped off onto a plate or onto boiled potatoes, pickles, and cured meats. The process of melting the cheese and scraping it off onto accompaniments is known as "raclette" and is often enjoyed as a social meal with family and friends.This traditional way of eating raclette cheese is a popular winter dish. It has spread beyond its Swiss origins to become a very liked dish worldwide. We’re thrilled to able to offer our own spin on the beloved classic using award-winning Leelanau Cheese Raclette.
