| Enjoy this holiday weekend in one of the many Ann Arbor pools, grilling, watching fireworks or hanging with the family - No matter what there is plenty to do with the kids in Ann Arbor! |
Of course it is Memorial Day weekend, I posted several holiday specific events that will honor local veterans. My family will actually be at Highland Cemetery tomorrow placing flags on the graves of veterans as well as marching in the Ypsilanti Memorial Day Parade Monday. Otherwise we'll be seeing family and working in the garden! What will your family do?
Want to start the summer with a festival? The Sumpter Township Country Fest at the fairgrounds (23501 Sumpter Rd., Belleville) started last night and will run through Monday. Your entire family will find free children's entertainment, bingo, pony rides a petting zoo, several pageants, a car show, live music carnival rides, crafts and a demolition derby!!! But wait there is more. The first official fireworks also happen Sunday night. And of course most local pools including Rolling Hills Waterpark, open this weekend. I've heard too that the Compuware drive-in is also open for a sneak-peek weekend.
