Please join us in celebrating our 4th Annual Saline Alumni Golf Scramble, hosted by Brookside Golf Course in Saline, Michigan.

Each year, the Foundation for Saline Area Schools, in partnership with the Saline Alumni Committee, brings together former students, local families, staff, and friends of Saline Area Schools for a fun day on the course while raising support for programs that enrich learning across the district.

Proceeds from the scramble help sponsor two scholarships for graduating Saline High School seniors each year: one for college and one for trade school.

Event highlights include:
- 18 holes of scramble-format golf at Brookside Golf Course
- Hot dog and chips at the turn
- Lunch following golf
- On-course contests and prizes (closest to the pin, longest drive, etc.)
- Raffles, giveaways, and sponsorship opportunities
- Foursomes and individual golfers are welcome, and you do not have to be a Saline alum to participate!

A variety of sponsorship levels are available for businesses and individuals who want to support Saline Area Schools while gaining visibility throughout the event.

Space is limited, so we encourage you to register early. We look forward to seeing you on the course!

The Packard Farmers Market returns for the 2026 season at the historic Packard Proving Grounds, bringing together local farmers, artisans, bakers, makers, and small businesses in a one-of-a-kind setting where history and community meet.

Formerly known as the Shelby Farmers Market, the newly rebranded Packard Farmers Market reflects its deep connection to the Packard Proving Grounds and its mission to support the preservation of this iconic historic site. The market runs Saturdays from May 16 through October 10, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., on the expansive front lawn of the Packard Proving Grounds Historic Site.

Each week, the market is arranged in neat rows across the lawn, offering a relaxed, walkable shopping experience. Vendors may park directly next to their booths, and the grass setting provides a cooler summer atmosphere ideal for tent setups. Well-behaved dogs on leashes are welcome. The market is supported by Packard Proving Grounds volunteers and local high school students earning community service hours.

The Packard Farmers Market is open on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends and will be closed Saturday, July 4. Proceeds from the market directly benefit the ongoing restoration and preservation of the Packard Proving Grounds Historic Site, owned and operated by the Packard Motor Car Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Dates: Saturdays, May 16 – October 10, 2026 *closed July 4th

Time: 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Location: Packard Proving Grounds Historic Site, Shelby Township

Sponsored by the Gogebic Community College Foundation, in memory of Alex Marciniak.

From June 27 through August 22, visitors are invited to wander the 1.2-mile Aurora Loop and discover large-scale installations nestled among towering pines, winding trails, and the rugged beauty of the Northwoods. Created by artists from across the region, this year’s exhibition reflects Emberlight’s 2026 theme, New Ways to Dream — exploring imagination, transformation, memory, identity, and the power of collective creativity.

Alongside this year’s juried installations, Emberlight proudly unveils two major community-centered projects through Art For All. A new collaborative installation invites audiences themselves to become part of the artistic process, while a second large-scale work — created in partnership with students from five regional schools — draws inspiration from Ojibwe doodems, reflecting themes of kinship, ancestry, and connection to the natural world through the voices and creativity of the next generation. Supported through funding from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council, the project places young artists at the heart of the festival in a powerful new way.
