Trump to Make Historic Visit to St. Clair County
President Donald Trump is scheduled to visit Port Huron this Sunday, October 25th, for a midterm campaign rally.
The City of Port Huron announced the visit on social media, saying its team is working to prepare for what it describes as the first presidential visit in Port Huron and St. Clair County history. Preparations are underway at McMorran Place and the McMorran Arena.
If confirmed, the visit would mark a historic milestone for the Blue Water Area, bringing a sitting U.S. president to St. Clair County for the first time.
The rally comes just days before Michigan’s November 3rd election, as campaigning intensifies across the state.

The third victim, Gerald Grzadzinski, was a longtime boat mechanic. Sheriff’s investigators are still reconstructing the October 7th collision near MacRay Harbor in Harrison Township.

Marysville Man Leads Ghostbusters Crew
A group of local volunteers is suiting up to spread some community spirit across the Blue Water Area. The Blue Water Ghostbusters wear the famous costumes, bring proton packs and an Ectomobile, and show up at local events. Marysville’s Nicholas Putinsky helps run the group. He says they are not after money or sponsors. They simply want to do some good. The group formed last November and made its first appearance in August at the Port Huron Bookmobile birthday. They have two appearances planned for Saturday, October 24.
