Plenty to do locally this summer! This weekend's Michigan Balloon Challenge had great weather. I heard people all around Brighton and Howell talking about either being there or planning to visit. Next up is Brighton's Independence Day Parade on the 4th, now being administered by the Sunrise Rotary Club. Many thanks to the Boy Scouts for handling this event for so many years.
A relatively new addition to the parade is the Hungry Duck Run, actually two runs - a 5K (3.1 mile) and a Half Marathon (13.1 miles). The Sunrise Rotary started this a couple of years ago as a fundraiser for Gleaner's Community Food Bank, and it's great to see it be successful. The name 'Hungry Duck' also fits in with the Rotary's duck race at the Brighton Millpond after the parade. Great addition to the Holiday's festivities.
Next up will be the Howell Melonfest, August 14th-16th.
