 Richard Charles Korsgren

Richard (Dick) Charles Korsgren, 93, of Fowlerville, Michigan, passed away on March 4, 2022. Richard was born July 27, 1928 to his mother Mable Elston and David Korsgren at St. Bernard's Hospital in Chicago, IL.

Dick moved to Fowlerville in approximately 1940 to live with his aunt and uncle plus his grandparents (The Woodley's). He graduated from Fowlerville High School in 1947. Immediately after high school, he served four years in the Michigan National Guard.

In 1949, he took over Woodley Eggs from his uncle to become the sole proprietor of a wholesale egg business. He worked throughout mid-Michigan, receiving and distributing eggs (based from his home-business on North Nicholson Road in Fowlerville) until his retirement in 1999 at the age of 70.

Dick enjoyed keeping up with the newest technologies in home entertainment, gardening, photography, and travel.

Surviving Dick are his wife of 55 years, Mary; son Stephen (Steve); and grandson Alder.

Visitation was held on Thursday, March 10, from 10:00 am-noon and funeral services followed visitation from noon -12:30 pm at Herrmann Funeral Home in Fowlerville, Michigan. A luncheon reception took place from 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm next door at St. Agnes Church in Fowlerville, Michigan. The family welcomes donations to Redwoods Rising and the Audobon Society for habitat and wildlife restoration projects. Arrangements entrusted to Herrmann Funeral Home.

 Fowlerville High School Thespians to perform dramatic comedy March 18-20

After a three-year hiatus, Fowlerville High School Thespians are triumphantly returning to the Alverson Center for Performing Arts stage with a performance of She Kills Monsters on March 18-20.

She Kills Monsters tells the story of high school senior Agnes Evans as she deals with the tragic loss of her younger sister, Tilly. When Agnes discovers Tilly’s Dungeons & Dragons notebook, she finds herself catapulted into a journey of discovery and action-packed adventure in the imaginary world that was her sister’s refuge.

This high-octane dramatic comedy is laden with savage faeries, brutal ogres, ‘90’s pop culture, and a lesson in true friendship. The performance also offers heart-pounding homage to the geek and warrior within us all.

Two years ago, nearly 100 Fowlerville drama students spent months working on their 2020 production, only to have their hopes of putting on that play dashed when it was canceled on opening night due to the pandemic shutdown. Among them were current seniors Maddy Woods, Mason Ellis-Bensinger and Vanessa Woods who are starring in the upcoming play.

Maddy portrays the heroine Agnes, with Mason as her sister Tilly and Vanessa as her best friend Vera. Each of these young actresses is more than ready to shine with this opportunity.

Since January, they and the rest of the cast and crew have been working diligently on learning the rules of Dungeons & Dragons, memorizing lines, building set pieces and practicing countless hours of stunt and stage combat choreography. This year’s high school play is about rising up after tragedy, rooting for the underdog and being true to loved ones. She Kills Monsters should not be missed!

Performances start at 7 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, March 18-19 and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 20. Tickets will be available at the door.

Crossroads United Methodist Church offering Swiss steak dinner on March 26

 Fowlerville 4th of July Committee’s Chili Cook-Off to be held Saturday, March 12

The Fowlerville 4th of July Committee’s 17th annual Chili Cook-Off will be held on Saturday, March 12, from 4-7 p.m. with lots of chili and soup to taste test.

This year the event is also presented by KW Corporation and The Michigan Army National Guard Howell Recruiting Office.

The money raised from the Cook-Off helps fund the Fowlerville 4th of July fireworks and other activities held during the local Independence Day celebration.

After being canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19 and held at the fairgrounds last year to comply with indoors’ public health restrictions, the event is back to its traditional setting—the Fowlerville VFW Hall at 215 Veterans Drive.

Besides offering the best chili in the area, the Cook-Off will also give chili chefs the opportunity to compete with soups of their choice for ribbons and bragging rights.

Categories for chili entries include: Judges Choice Spicy, Judges’ Choice, Most Unique, and Peoples Choice.

Categories for soup entries include: Judges Choice and Peoples Choice.

All of the contestants will also have a chance to win the Best Presentation (table area decorations) Award.

Along with the public being able to taste test the entries and vote for their favorites by making a monetary donation, the fun afternoon will include raffles and a Silent Auction.

While taste testing gets your participation started, those attending can also order a dinner. The cost is $10 for persons 13 years and older, $5 for children 5 to 13, with children 5 and under served for free.

 Fowlerville 4th of July Committee’s Chili Cook-Off to be held Saturday, March 12

The Fowlerville 4th of July Committee’s 17th annual Chili Cook-Off will be held on Saturday, March 12, from 4-7 p.m. with lots of chili and soup to taste test.

This year the event is also presented by KW Corporation and The Michigan Army National Guard Howell Recruiting Office.

The money raised from the Cook-Off helps fund the Fowlerville 4th of July fireworks and other activities held during the local Independence Day celebration.

After being canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19 and held at the fairgrounds last year to comply with indoors’ public health restrictions, the event is back to its traditional setting—the Fowlerville VFW Hall at 215 Veterans Drive.

Besides offering the best chili in the area, the Cook-Off will also give chili chefs the opportunity to compete with soups of their choice for ribbons and bragging rights.

Categories for chili entries include: Judges Choice Spicy, Judges’ Choice, Most Unique, and Peoples Choice.

Categories for soup entries include: Judges Choice and Peoples Choice.

All of the contestants will also have a chance to win the Best Presentation (table area decorations) Award.

Along with the public being able to taste test the entries and vote for their favorites by making a monetary donation, the fun afternoon will include raffles and a Silent Auction.
