The 32nd annual Huron River Day drew a crowd Sunday to Gallup Park for an afternoon of sun, guided canoe tours, a 5K run/walk, live music, children's activities, demonstrations and exhibits. The event, organized by the city of Ann Arbor, is meant to encourage awareness of water quality and the preservation of the city's defining natural feature.
Photographer Daniel Brenner captured these images in the carousel above.

Now I get why it was so crowded at Argo. Remind me next time to stay home.

Very nice event with good attendance. We went for a couple hours in the hot afternoon sun, and saw many people on the river, or having picnics and enjoying the displays. Just the right size for the location.
