The event is set to be taped by Telemundo, a Spanish-speaking TV network that broadcasts in 97 countries, for its show "Ritmo Deportivo," according to a release from W.E.ROCK.

World's Largest Open Limestone Quarry
Visitor Suggested Place to Visit: If you're in Rogers City, Michigan, a nice bit of sightseeing after dinner is to stop by the worlds largest open limestone quarry. First take a look at the ships in port, out at Harbor View on Calcite Road, where you can watch the lake freighters being loaded. Harbor View is found off of Third Street and Woodward Avenue and the route is signed.
The main attraction though is a look into the quarry, and there are a couple of spots where you can do that. One of the best is called Quarry View and you can find it along US-23 just south of town. The quarry is so large that its on both sides of the road! This has been a limestone quarry since 1914, because the stone is a good quality for concrete and steel-making and has a natural port on Lake Huron right at the foot of the quarry.
An entire railroad yard was built around and within the quarry to serve it with land transportation, but the line was removed about 10 years ago.
After youre done ooohing and ahhing over the size of the hole, its time to head back to your motel for the night.
