Meet the Fascinating People of 2026

March 2, 2026

One of the most popular issues of the Northern Express - sister publication of The Ticker - is the annual Fascinating People list, which highlights some of the many wonderful, weird, and wildly adventurous people of northern Michigan.

This year’s crop of 20 Fascinating People includes artists and activists, raptor rescuers and race pacers, hedgehog wranglers and bass players - and many more! Get to know them by picking up a copy of this week's Northern Express, available to read online or at one of nearly 700 spots in 14 counties across northern Michigan.
