Karen and Michael Paciorek say Michigan-made products make a great meal. The Northville residents discovered this when they organized a Michigan-themed dinner at a family reunion July 11-18 in Virginia Beach, Va. Karen Paciorek said she got the idea after attending a presentation given by Rep. Marc Corriveau (D-Northville) about the Buy Michigan Now initiative prior to the recent festival in downtown Northville. Lisa Diggs, founder of the buy-local initiative, was also present. She decided it would be fun to take a bunch of Michigan-made food products to the reunion of her husband's relatives to show them how many wonderful things comes from the Great Lakes State. They even had an oven mitt with the state of Michigan outlined on it and some Petoskey stones, the state stone of Michigan, to use as table decorations. “I thought this would be a great way to showcase Michigan,” she said. The Pacioreks used the Buy Michigan Now Web site as a guide in purchasing their Michigan food items, and it helped that Hiller's Market on north Center Street flags their Michigan-made products.
