Pillows are decorated for Dégagé Ministries display

See a public art exhibit

Sometimes we just need a peaceful break from the long work week. Take a stroll  at Ah-Nab-Awen Park  to see the Pillow Project display. Beautifully decorated pillowcases are displayed along the bridge representing the 4,700 women who have accessed Dégagé Ministries Open Door Women’s Center. The cases tell a story of the growing population of homeless women and are a sight you won’t want to miss. The display, which is part of Bridge GR, will be up throughout this month.


Host a Virtual Game Night

Looking to stay inside in the comfort of sweatpants and avoid traffic? Try a virtual game night. Let’s Roam hosts virtual games nights for you to try with your friends. Classic games like trivia and charades, along with drinking games for us legal gamers. Who said having fun meant going out?


Fun Fact: A whole lot of pie

The apple blossom is Michigan’s state flower. But did you know that Michigan produces more 900 millions pounds of apples a year? An apple pie typically calls for 3-4 pounds of apples. Doing the math approximately 300 million apple pies could be produced a year. Anyone want a slice?
