As Communications and Public Relations Manager at Ford House, Malea Tipton manages the Organization’s digital presence and oversees media relations and public outreach. In January, she celebrated her third work anniversary. Needless to say, she loves what she does.
Question 1:
What is your favorite part of the job and why?
I love my job because of the creative freedom it gives me to promote and share all the exciting things happening at Ford House, while incorporating one of my favorite pillars of Ford House—playfulness. I also get to work alongside amazing people who are all passionate about helping Ford House grow and remain a special place for families and individuals to enjoy.
Questions 2:
What are your anchor events and what are you personally looking forward to in the upcoming year?
Our upcoming year is packed with events designed to appeal to all interests and age groups. One new event I’m especially excited about is Cabaret Over the Cove. We had a GREAT turnout at the Valentine’s Day kick-off event. We have several more cabarets happening throughout the year! Picture yourself overlooking Ford Cove, sipping a cocktail, and enjoying live music. Whether it’s date night or just needing a reason to get out the house, it’s bound to be a fantastic experience!
Question 3: Highlight of Cabaret Over the Cove
Discover the magic of Cabaret Over the Cove, Ford House’s intimate concert series where exceptional live performances meet breathtaking views. Held in the Lake Shore Room on the second floor of the Visitor Center, this series offers an up-close musical experience set against the stunning backdrop of Ford Cove and Lake St. Clair.
Question 4: Highlight of Halloween at the Ford House
Halloween at Ford House offers a variety of unique and festive experiences for visitors of all ages. Families can enjoy the beloved Little Goblins event, featuring trick-or-treating and Halloween-themed activities for kids, while adults can indulge in thrilling Murder Mystery Dinners, an evening of intrigue and suspense.
New for 2025, the reimagined Big Goblins event returns with a spookier twist. Guests 21 and older can explore a shadowy trail, collect adult treats, and enjoy live entertainment, haunted hayrides, and more.
