June 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Be a tourist in your own town!  Visit the 35th Annual Trenton Mid-Summer Festival, scheduled for July 9, 10 and 11.   It is held in downtown Trenton on Jefferson between Maple and Harrison.  There will be plenty of attractions to keep you entertained all weekend, making the festival a must addition to your stay-at-home travel itinerary.  

In addition to the overall tourist event, this year’s festival is again “Going Green!”  In an effort to showcase the many environmentally friendly opportunities that exist in our area, the festival  com¬mittee is dedicating an entire festival block to environmentally friendly information and family fun.  Whether it be sharing the many outdoor recreation opportunities and wonderful natural resources that exist right in our own backyard or showcasing environmentally friendly businesses and organizations which are providing healthy alternatives to preserve and protect our environment, this year’s festival will have lots of great ideas of how to “Go Green” downriver.  ” This year they will use recycled “recycle bins” by Covert Shredding, they will also collect cardboard and paper and batteries. Be sure to recycle plastic, cans & bottles while you’re here compliments of  Renewal By Anderson & DTE!  There will also be a useful Garbage Art contest where artists can share a recycled item in art form. It will be on display throughout festival and will earn one contestant a $100 prize. The featured retro rock stylings of headliners Boogie Dynomite and Magic Bus will compliment the “groovy” feel of this annual event. It’s a great time to take a “Staycation” this summer and be a Tourist in your own town!

The Festival attracts over 100,000 visitors each year with top name entertainment, over 150 artists and craftsmen, a children’s playmarket, and a popular array of sporting tournaments including co-ed volleyball.  This years activities will include a new dog adventure brought to you by the Village Animal HealthCenter. “We have seen the Ultimate Air Dog  program at other events and thought it would be a great water sport  to add to Trenton’s festival.” Said Dr. Raspbury, of Village Animal HealthCenter.  There is a lot for kids to do at the Trenton Mid-Summer Festival.  Just locate the clock tower at W. Jefferson and West and let the fun begin!  In keeping with the “Green Theme”, the New Herald Newspapers Children’s Playmarket opens on Friday where kids can use their imagination and create an array of hands-on arts and crafts from recycled products.  Be on the lookout for Janie Annie clown and Max the Moose, who will delight children of all ages.   The Diaper Derby and Toddler Trot will be held on Saturday at noon near the clock tower for crawlers through age 4.

Stop by the Trenton Fire Department and become a Junior Firefighter by trying your hand at spraying a real firehouse to see if you can hit the target!  Trenton school clubs and local service organizations will offer games of chance, face painting, fishing pond and super soaker games to name a few.  

As a waterfront community, Trenton is blessed with outstanding natural resources which lend themselves to offer incredible outdoor recreation opportunities.   Make it a point to visit the International Wildlife Refuge and Humbug Marsh, located at the south end of Trenton, and learn about this valuable natural resources and plans for the future.  A short  Miller Beverages shuttle bus ride will transport you there and back.  Times of the tours will be announced.  In addition to the tour of the marsh, Riverside Kayak will be on hand, providing kayaking demonstrations at nearby Elizabeth Park on Sunday  12-3pm every 15 minutes.

Henry Ford Hospital Wyandotte & Josephine Ford Cancer Center Downriver will again host the Refreshment Intersection at West Jefferson and Elm for some shady relief by the food stations.
