Come Frontier Days week, downtown Charlotte fills up and every lawn along the way suddenly has an audience. Frontier Lawn Care mows into that early-September stretch when the days are still warm, the nights have turned cool, and the grass grows thick and slow enough to hold a good cut for a week. Trimming and edging square things up around the walks and the porch rails; the clippings come off the pavement before the crowd walks it. A lawn cut right in that light — low sun, long shadows — looks like the town is expecting company. Charlotte is the center, with Potterville, Olivet, Bellevue and Eaton Rapids close at hand.
