The annual July 4th parade will happen, not surprisingly, on July 4. This is, I think, one of Plymouth’s cooler traditions. Many cities have fireworks but no parades. Fortunately, the holiday falls on a Saturday. Here’s the parade info which, by the way, is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club:

Happy Easter

Easter is a special day for many of us. Regardless of how (or why) you celebrate the holiday, I sincerely hope it is wonderful.
My favorite hymn is “Amazing Grace” and my favorite way it is played is on the bagpipes. I get a lump in my throat everytime. Enjoy.

The second is a Easter Sunrise Gathering at 8 a.m. on Easter Sunday April 12. [...]

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.
Our local Salvation Army, which serves the Plymouths, the Northvilles, Canton and Belleville, set a pre campaign goal for 2008 of $235,000. [...]
The Duchess starring Keira Knightley (or Fat Squirrels)
Posted in downtown Plymouth, holidays, tagged downtown Plymouth, holidays, Penn Theater, winter on January 8, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been itching to write, but I haven’t seen anything going on in town the last few days of any particular interest. I noticed, though, that the Penn Theater is showing The Duchess, starring Keira Knightley.
Seeing the movie poster reminded me that I don’t think I have ever seen Ms. Knightley in anything other [...]

I may or may not be posting before the New Year. If not, have a wonderful, safe and fun New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
Here’s Auld Lang Syne for your (or mine, anyway) listening pleasure.
Amazed by your generosity

As I said in an earlier post, I did Salvation Army bell ringing at the Kroger in Plymouth Twp. last night. What stood out was truly how generous people can be, especially in these tough times.
All we hear about on the news these days are the economy (nothing but bad news) and bailouts. In this [...]
The Three Wise Men

I’m not the world’s biggest Christmas fan, at least not how it is outwardly expressed and celebrated. I think it’s great that people decorate their homes and that cities like ours make their downtowns festive and bright. The lights, the creches, the snowflakes are enjoyable, nice to look it, but they don’t make [...]
