This Sunday, July 11, from noon - 4:00 p.m. Ann Arbor families can enjoy FREE fun at the Gallup Park (3000 Fuller Rd., Ann Arbor) Huron River Day Festival!

Celebrate this annual event featuring everything the Huron River has to offer - River exhibits, storytelling, music, fishing and many great eats. My personal favorite is $5/boat canoe and kayak rentals! There will also be many great children's activities including a butterfly house where kids can hand feed butterflies, musical entertainment, geocaching and so much more. Families do not need to pre-registration, just show up at noon on Sunday.

For those families with running enthusiasts, don't forget that the morning begins with an 8:00 a.m. Gallup Gallop Run too.

For more information on Huron River Day and the great free family events of the day, call Gallup Park at 734-794-6240.
