BROWSING:  Fun

Get ready to laugh, Flint! The Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center is hosting “The Comedy Get Down” – a benefit event to support the residents of Flint who have been affected by the water crisis.

After sitting desolate for 25 years, the UM-Flint Ice Rink is again renting skates!

Peabody Ice Climbing Club in Fenton was founded in 2005 by a small group of climbers who introduced themselves to the world-class ice climbing resources in and around the Great Lakes. Combining the property at the family’s old apple orchard (which retired in 1996) and a commercial landscape sprinkler system, it began. The group was small at first, but there are now 50 club members who join in the fun almost every season, and it is the perfect place to train before heading off for grander adventures.

Got the winter blahs? It’s time to plan a getaway!
