A small town bakery in Michigan’s Great Southwest will emerge into the national spotlight on Tuesday morning according to the owners of the Golden Brown Bakery Cafe on Phoenix Street in downtown South Haven.
According to a Facebook post on the bakery and cafe’s fan page, Fox News Channel in New York has made arrangements to head into the cafe on Tuesday morning, (January 30) for live segments to be peppered into the network’s Fox & Friends in the Morning broadcast ahead of President Trump’s State of the Union address.
Golden Brown Bakery officials tell their fans and customers that Fox News Channel Correspondent Mike Tobin will spend the morning at the bakery asking local patrons about their views on the State of the Union and President Trump’s performance ahead of the President’s live broadcast from a joint session of Congress in Washington, D.C.
When the crew at the bakery wondered why they had been selected for the live broadcast forum, Fox authorities said that Michigan’s “swing state” status in the 2016 presidential election makes opinions here of interest. Furthermore, Fox considers Van Buren County to be a “swing county,” and based on the density of the county population, the network selected South Haven as “the best place to take the social and political temperature of the electorate in Southwest Michigan.”
As a result, the Golden Brown Bakery Cafe is encouraging customers and fans to stop in for breakfast and “tell Mike Tobin what’s on your mind.”
The bakery cafe, which opens for business every Monday through Saturday at 6am, is located at 421 Phoenix Street in downtown South Haven, and the Fox & Friends in the Morning network television broadcast originating in New York City airs week days from 6am until 9am on the Fox News Channel.
