The success of the Great Lakes Regional Chili Cookoff, Plymouth’s annual chili festival and motorcycle show, depends heavily on volunteers.
With the growth of the festival, more and more volunteers are needed. Habitat for Humanity provides the bulk of the volunteers.

I, personally, could do without the carnival and rides. I understand that the midway hauls in a lot of money for the City, so it has some value. But as entertainment, it’s a bit overwhelming.

The Breast Cancer Three Day Walk will go through Plymouth Saturday between 9:45-2:00. The official “cheer station” will be at the Kellogg Park.

I have not been in Church the last several Sundays to get updated information. I can see that this blog gets a fair amount of hits on the posts regarding the mobile food pantry and Trinity Church’s work with Gleaners. I’m not sure if that is simply out of interest/curiosity or because people are desperate [...]

According to an article in the January 8, 2009, Plymouth Observer (“Kettle drive soars past 2008 goal), the local Salvation Army’s Christmas kettle drive raised more than the goal set and exceeded 2007’s donations.
