The first-ever Canadiana Fest in Kalamazoo is Saturday, Oct 7 at the Arcadia Creek Festival Place. Beginning at noon and ending around midnight, it's a celebration of the food, Native and European cultures, celebrities, sports and music of our neighbor to the north (and east). Cara Lieurance spoke with well-known regional chef and author Channon Mondoux, the founder of the festival, and with Arthur Zapata of the Southern Straight Singers.
