Special activities – from live music on opening day to readings by local libraries, kite flying lessons for Father’s Day, firework safety before July 4th, and treasure hunts – are planned for each of the market days,” noted Supervisor Mandy Grewal.The Market will have different activities/entertainment each week including music by local entertainers Kevin Devine and the Saline Fiddlers, firework and bike safety programs through the Pittsfield Department of Public Safety, story-time by both the Saline and Ann Arbor District Libraries, kid-friendly activities presented by Pittsfield’s Park and Recreation Department, gardening and healthy cooking demonstrations, and a fun “find the banana” game for kids to win prizes while exploring the Market every week.
