Parenting Communities is excited to welcome families to its fourth annual Street Fair on Saturday, July 19, from 10 am to 2 pm at the Leelanau Montessori Public School Academy campus in Lake Leelanau (7401 E. Duck Lake Rd.). In the event of rain, the celebration will be moved indoors to the VFW Hall. This free, family-friendly event is packed with fun for little ones and their grownups alike—face painting, balloon animals, a mobile museum, bubbles, crafts, live music and movement activities, and so much more. It’s a great chance to enjoy the day together, meet other local families, and connect with Parenting Communities staff and resources.
Five years ago, Leelanau County residents passed a millage for early childhood services. The millage is now up for renewal in a vote scheduled for August. With the goal of informing the community about how this funding has been used, the League of Women Voters Leelanau County is sponsoring an April 3 forum titled “The Early Childhood Millage—What it Supports and Why it Matters.” The forum takes place from 7-8 pm at the Suttons Bay High School auditorium.
