NORTHERN MICHIGAN -- Whether it's the economy rebounding or the beautiful weather, local businesses are projecting a big Memorial Day weekend.
“We are seeing a little bit of an up-tick…not knowing exactly what we can attribute it to yet but there is a little bit of an up-tick going on,” said Jim Spinniken, owner of Wild Cherry Resort in Leelanau County.

A spokesperson for the Traverse City State Park said their camp ground is booked through the holiday weekend.
Enjoying wine is another way people plan on enjoying their Memorial Day weekend.
