The Washtenaw County Farm Bureau hosts a trick-or-treat-style event that will teach kids about the food grown in Michigan.
Treat of Agriculture will be held from 6-7:30 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 21 in Building D at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds, 5055 Ann Arbor-Saline Road.
The big difference is that trick-or-treaters, dressed in costumes, will receive Michigan agriculture products instead of candy. Families and kids 12 and under are welcome. Treats are guaranteed to the first 200 children.
There is also a free photo booth and fun Halloween games.
Overcast, with a high of 74 and low of 56 degrees. Overcast in the morning, light rain shower in the afternoon, overcast overnight.
Did they announce if they’re doing the 1 mile run down Michigan avenue?
If this mileage passes, has the City of Saline, for example, committed to reduce their millage by 2.0 that they no longer
need to send to the Fire Department?
It should be stated that this mileage is going to raise the taxes for many homes by $800 per year (based on a $250K SEV). There has been no commitment that the 2.0 mil that currently exists will be replaced even though it is alluded to. That is a huge increase.
The Fire Dept. likely does have unmet needs. We have been in meetings where the Fire Chief has spoken and our impression has been that he is not fully transparent, massaging information to present a case to achieve what he wants rather than solidly and transparently defining reality and options.
