July Michigan Event Calendar
This is what we said last year and I think we will stick with the message... It seems that many media outlets are preaching the "staycation" this year. We say cut some corners, pack a lunch, brew your own coffee, just do what you have to do and support the events, cities and businesses that are making things happen. You might just have some fun and create some great memories in the process.
