Happy Cranksgiving!

The R3 Cycling Club, based out of the Plymouth and Northville communities, and the D&D Bike shop held their 5th Annual D&D/R3 Cranksgiving Fall Harvest Ride on Oct. 24. The annual fundraiser for the Gleaners Food Bank brought in $3,400 -- enough money to provide more than 10,000 meals to those less fortunate. The cyclists headed out on two routes. The first group (pictured) headed to Obstaum Orchards Cider Mill (about 18 miles round trip), and the second route took riders to Zingerman’s in Ann Arbor and then on to Plymouth Orchards before returning to D&D in Northville (about 47 miles).

The DELANO Breaks Ground

Although it’s been in the planning for some time, The DELANO project broke ground on Nov. 5. Located on Cady Street, just east of Center, the high-end development will include six luxury residences ranging in size from 3,384 to 3,642 square feet. According to the partners involved, the building is a blend of classic and modern design, and the ranch residences include wide open living spaces, soaring 10-foot ceilings, expansive windows that capture light and views, west facing private balconies, and a heated parking garage. Pictured at the groundbreaking (from left) are co-developers Alex T. de Parry of Ann Arbor Builders, Inc. and Robert Ajlouny, along with general contractor Mark Hiser of Phoenix Company. For more information about the project, visit www.DELANONorthville.com.

An Eagles Thanksgiving

The Northville Eagles #2504 will be hosting a special Thanksgiving Day dinner for members of the community. They will be serving a turkey dinner for those in need. Dinner will be served beginning at 1 p.m. and will continue until they run out of food. The Eagles club is located at 113 S. Center Street in downtown Northville. The food is compliments of the Eagles club and members of the community who donated to the cause. They are still in need of donations to meet the demand, as they are expecting between 80-100 people to attend. For more information, call or text (248) 390-3125 and leave a message for “Wheels”.

It's A Banner Month

You know I love the military banners in downtown Northville. It’s incredible how many more there are year after year. I see the names of friends and neighbors, brave men and women who served our country, and it still gives me a goose bump. The patriotic symbolism lives on in our hearts and minds throughout the months of November and May thanks to the Northville Chamber of Commerce and the presenting sponsor Masco. I am so proud to be a member of this community! Hats off to those who support the program, and those who hang proudly.

Streets of Treats was a great day in downtown

Northville. There were treats galore. Characters everywhere. And a surprise performance by dancers from Performers Edge Dance Company. Traditionally, this event happens the Saturday before Halloween. I think there were “thousands” of kids this year.

Congratulations to Salon Unity, on Six Mile and

Haggerty. They recently celebrated their 10th anniversary. I understand from a few of their loyal customers the salon is very popular with Northville residents. I’m touched how they reached out to me to sing the praises of John Takacs, the owner. They attribute the continued success in these unprecedented times to a love for the clients, and dedicated community service.

I will be ringing the bell for Salvation Army at the Northville Post Office on Saturday, Dec. 11 at 11 a.m.

If you stop by and make a “paper money” donation my grandchildren and I will sing a holiday tune for you. This is our 10th year.

The Corriveau Law Office is collecting Toys for Tots

once again. The iconic train sits in their parking lot on E. Main Street just west of Griswold (this section of the street is open). You can drop off unwrapped toys for kids of all ages. For specific details call (248) 380-6800.

The Tree of Teeth is back on the corner of Griswold

and Main. They light up nightly, and if you’re lucky you might catch a bit of a light show which happens two to three times each evening. The tree is 16 feet tall. It is made up of 1,111 - 8” blow-molded plastic molars. There are more than 1,000 twinkle lights, 96 strobes all controlled by a DMX computerized program. The plastic teeth were made in Michigan for an art installation a few years ago.

One year ago the world needed “something” to smile about. Who wouldn’t find a Tree of Teeth worth laughing about? A new tradition was born and this year there’s more to it. You gotta see it to believe it. Special thanks to Performers Edge Dance Company for their performance at the tree lighting. More thanks to Music Director Stephen Cross and the singers from St. Catherine of Siena and Our Lady of Victory. Awesome job!

Tradition goes hand in

hand with the holiday season. A few years ago in my household we started exchanging “something you want, something you need, something to wear and something to read.” This simple tradition makes giving and receiving simple and so much fun. It really makes shopping a lot easier. Small business Saturday is November 26. It’s a great day to support our local merchants. I try to be creative with my list of wants and needs. I can’t give away the gifts I’ve already purchased - but - “something my grandkids need” is a paper, flexible, earth friendly drinking tool at PearAphernalia, that costs only $9. There are also cute gloves there “to wear.” I love the Sid Dickens collection, just for gift giving in general.

Will the real Peter Denk

please stand up? My apologies to the Denk family. It was my family pictured with your name last month. My grandson Parker also went to the Catholic Central homecoming. Funny thing is my daughter’s name is Jill, so there was a lot of teasing going on in our circle of family and friends.

If you have a holiday tradition to share I’d love to

hear from you. You can send a note, with or without a photo to: denisemjenkins@aol.com. In the subject line let me know it’s A HOLIDAY TRADITION, I’ll keep an eye out for it. In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving - I laugh at the thought we cook all day and it’s “gobbled” up so quickly.
