Next Week's Highlights

The big news next week is the Eclipse on Monday afternoon. There are several watch parties around Ann Arbor, or take a short drive to totality near Toledo. My daughter and I are still figuring out where to go.

The Ann Arbor Just Between Friends sale starts on Wednesday with the preSale and runs through Saturday.

There is PreSchool ArtStart.

Wednesday is an early release day for AAPS. There are several events at the library in the afternoon as well as a K-5 crafting activity from Ann Arbor’s NAP.

Next Weekend's Highlights

The Just Between Friends sale runs through Saturday.

Skyline High School will be performing Clue next weekend. I am a big fan of the 80s movie (and the game). So we are making plans to see the show.

Saturday is National Unicorn Day with a Unicorn Feed & Supply Pop Up and events at Carousel Acres on Saturday and Sunday.

Close out the weekend with the Ypsilanti Symphony Orchestra concert.
