The Romeo Village Trading Post. Pet Adoption Event At Frontier Town Romeo Michigan
Frontier Town: The rambling collection of stores, which looks like it should be in a western state instead of Romeo, Michigan got it’s start because it’s owner, Maurice Foltz, had once seen a picture on the back of one of his daughters cereal boxes of a western looking town. This was his dream, to recreate that very town. And he did. In 1983 the Country Store was purchased by he and his wife Marjorie Foltz. At around the same time, the big red house was purchased, which was built in 1854 and is now home to Frontier Town Antiques. During the next few years, more than 10 acres of land were obtained for further development, which now includes the “Boardwalk”, a collection of shops themed as if they belonged in the old west.

Hedgehogs are easily recognized by their spines, which are hollow hairs made stiff with keratin. Their spines are not poisonous or barbed and, unlike the quills of a porcupine, cannot easily be removed from the hedgehog. However, spines normally come out when a hedgehog sheds baby spines and replaces them with adult spines. This is called "quilling." When under extreme stress or during sickness, a hedgehog can also lose spines. A defense that all species of hedgehogs possess is the ability to roll into a tight ball, causing all of the spines to point outwards. However, its effectiveness depends on the number of spines, and since some of the desert hedgehogs evolved to carry less weight, they are much more likely to try to run away and sometimes even attack the intruder, trying to ram into the intruder with its spines, and rolling as a last resort.
