Update July 10th, 2010: This year’s event seems bigger and better than ever with perfect summer weather too! The booths seems to be taking over more and more of downtown and combined with the new stores – there’s plenty to see.
It’s summer in Plymouth (starting officially today on the Summer Solstice) and Art in the Park is coming soon. Downtown streets and parks will be transformed into rows of artists and craftsmen displaying their work and wares for all to see and purchase. In addition to the vendors – visitors to town will be able to enjoy all the new shops and restaurants that have appeared in the past year. For more information about Art in the Park 2010, go to www.artinthepark.com.
Update July 10th, 2010: At Art in the Park this year, we stopped by the Old World Olive Press and the place was crowded with Olive Oil tasters – so much so that we decided to come back at a later date. The place looked great and the people were sure enjoying themselves!
We just picked up a copy of Then & Now Plymouth by Brian Hill. This 95 page paperback captures Plymouth’s past to present with lots of wonderful photographs and descriptions. You can see many of Plymouth’s beautiful homes, businesses, and Churches – and read about their history and the people who built them. On page 18 you can even see the house where Carrie’s dad grew up (they no longer own it)! It’s a great read and available for $21.99 from Made in Michigan in downtown.
It’s that time of year again when downtown Plymouth streets are blocked off, white tents spring up, and parked cars clog all the neighborhood roads. Art in the Park is back and as strong as ever with vendors selling their goods as far as the eye can see. It was a good day for everyone – including the kids on our street selling lemonade and homemade cookies. Hopefully all the sellers and buyers did as well today too!
Although we’ve been to
