not pictured: John Knickerbocker, Linda Molpus & Mike Treiger How is it possible that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for the 32nd Annual Swartz Creek Hometown Days Festival? Several of the festival organizers have been working all year long to do the early planning and contracting with the major components of the weekend. Weather permitting we hope to entertain 35,000+ people from throughout Genesee and Shiawassee counties and surrounding areas. It is exciting to see more and more business, social, fraternal, church, civic, and school groups getting involved.in one of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BEST festivals. Thursday the fun begins with the Andy Maybik, Jr. Special Day for Special Needs event sponsored by KROGER and ARNOLDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Amusements. We expect 300+ very special people to enjoy activities usually unavailable to them. Several activities will entertain throughout the entire weekend. Look for the very popular Whispering Pines Traveling Zoo brought to you by the Hometown Days Silent Auction. This show features hundreds of animals including reptiles, birds and mammals. Hey, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who Let The Dogs Out?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; come watch the Ultimate Air Dog Show brought to you by Meijer and Swartz Creek Vision Center. Dogs run down an elevated runway and jump into a pool to retrieve a target. We have not had this type of competition/entertainment before and look forward to some memorable fun. Those sitting close enough may get a refreshing spray. The Agricultural Education Tent will have several Farm type animals and activities

geared to, milk, beef, pork and poultry products, plant growth and more. The returning eggs/baby chicks exhibit is sure to be a hit. Of course the Sagelink Swartz Creek Idol contest is sure to have huge crowds cheering on some talented participants-come see what all the excitement is about. We would like to welcome back Samâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club as the ofďŹ cial sponsor of the Pet Adoption Tent, dozens of animals will be begging for a new home. Look for activities in the HAP Community Tent for all ages: babies to senior citizens, check the busy schedule. And who would dare miss the huge Entertainment Tent with various daytime activities and the packed nighttime traditional entertainment. Hear some great(loud) popular music and grab a beverage. And just in case you party too much or sustain an injury AMD Urgent Care is on grounds with a staffed First Aid Tent. Signs throught the grounds are provided by Genysis Credit Union. Friday starts with the Randy Wise Auto Mall and Arnoldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Amusements FREE ride promotion from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. That is followed by the FREE Hometown Farm Breakfast from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. Last year we served 1,300 in record time-seriously they are well organized to service large volumes of people through very quickly-we hope for 2,000 this year. What a way to celebrate NO SCHOOL FRIDAY!!!!! Friday at dusk get to the Patsy Lou Automotive

Group Fireworks display (best viewing from the football ďŹ eld). This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s display is 20% larger than ever before, it should be a real thriller. Saturday starts out with the Sharp Funeral Homes Hometown Parade at 10:00 a.m. right down Miller Road. Pray for sunshine, last year the parade â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;dissolvedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in a deluge rain. All festival activities open at noon. New this year is the Famous Daveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BBQ contest at Obrienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garage front parking lot. We will have great eye candy at the huge car show along Fortino Drive. Catch the last opportunity to enjoy 2016 Hometown Days from noon till six on Sunday. Hometown Days is made possible with literally thousands of hours of UNPAID volunteer time from Board members, Committee members and last minute volunteers and much appreciated hard work. If you see any red shirted(or lime green) volunteers be sure to join me in thanking them for a job well done. They make it possible for us all to enjoy one of Michiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best festivals and the unofďŹ cial start of summer.

Each section has only four people per vocal part. The group specializes in chamber music performance and sings a variety of songs from the Renaissance through the Modern Era. The Madrigals perform throughout the year at various events as well as represent Swartz Creek at district and state level festivals, often earning superior ratings for their performances. This is an incredibly diverse group guaranteed to leave you in awe from their performance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an event you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss!

ultimate

when dogs fly!

air dogs

This event is generously sponsored by your local Swartz Creek Meijer store and Dr. James English of the Swartz Creek Vision Center Started in 2005 by former Detroit Tigers pitcher Milt Wilcox and his son Brian, Ultimate Air Dogs has soared to the top simply because of a down to earth attitude, grass roots background and the ability to make every competitor feel welcome! The philosophy of Ultimate Air Dogs is all about โ Familyโ . This is not a disciplined sport. Two handlers are allowed on the dock at the same time to help Fido stay and sit. From the smallest jumper to the biggest ultimate high flyer, all breeds (mixed or purebred), any size dogs are encouraged to participate - as long as they can swim! Your dog doesnโ t have to jump 20 feet to get a ribbon! Ultimate Air Dogs created the Divisional Finals, where the top five dogs from each division are invited to compete in the Grand Finale! We put the dogs first by providing more open dock time than any other organization. Whenever possible, our dock is open for practice. If dogs are having difficulty learning, our crew of volunteers will often provide free help between activities. Every Ultimate Air Dog is equally special. All mixes and breeds are welcome! Check out a great video on the Ultimate Air Dogs website: www.ultimateairdogs.com.

Please thank Sagelink Credit Union for sponsoring this event! There are lots of different categories, so you can find the one thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for you! That also includes Duets! This category is specifically for two people of any age, with the participants singing a song together. That includes friends, mom, grandparents, husband and wife or a couple of neighbors. There will again be the standard competition categories of Elementary, Middle School and High School. These three school aged categories are only available to Swartz Creek students. Those singers in Swartz Creek and surrounding communities that are not Swartz Creek students can compete in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;open micâ&#x20AC;? category. Anyone from age 5 to 105, from anywhere, can compete in their age class. Come join the fun and sing! For event guidelines and registration go to www.hometowndays.org.

Over the years the Silent Auction has become very hard to keep silent! It has grown and grown. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event is no exception. More local vendors will donate items for the Silent Auction, from meat grinders to bikes to lawn furniture - this auction has it all! Bidding is fun and easy. Stop by the desk in front of the Auction Tables and get a bidding number. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all there is to it. The Auction is held in the Expo Tent. This tent is very close to Morrish Road on the Kincaid property. Auction times are Friday, June 3rd. from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., Saturday, June 4th. from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Sunday, June 5th. from noon to 2:00 p.m. All bids are stopped at exactly 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.

dinner & entertainment Thursday evening, June 2nd., officially kicks off the 2016 Swartz Creek Hometown Days Festival. This is an appreciation dinner honoring sponsors, media, community supporters and our volunteers. The dinner and entertainment is by invitation only. The bash takes a lot of work and manpower to make this happen. However, a special volunteer named Daneen Fick has made it look so easy for the past eight years. The entertainment actually started nine weeks earlier. A Karaoke Contest was held at Bubba Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Malleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which over the nine week period produced 16 top contestants. These 16 contestants are the finalists, competing at the Kick Off Bash. We would like to thank the restaurants that make this delicious dinner possible. A big thank you goes out to our sponsors and volunteers. Thank you for making Swartz Creek Hometown Days one of the top festivals in Michigan!

the

smoother grounds! thanks to:

experience is here!

Join in the fun. On Friday, June 3rd, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., you will have a chance to enjoy the excitement and thrills of BUBBLEBall. The Swartz Creek Academy, along with SageLink Credit Union, invite you to the football field prior to the fireworks for BUBBLEBall.

We want to thank Alta Power Systems for providing us with a 6,000 lb. Volvo Roller - Free of Charge! Mike Treiger, Grounds Director, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was really great for leveling potholes and the grounds in general. Everything is so much smootherâ&#x20AC;?, says Mike. Thank You Alta Power Systems for your help! You guys are Great!!

The cost is $5 for five minutes, and all participants must sign, or have a legal guardian sign if under 18, a Waiver of Liability, which will be available at the field. Challenge your friends to a game of King of the Hill, or just climb in the BUBBLEBalls, roll around and collide into one another. Either way, it is a lot of fun! BUBBLEBall is fun for all ages. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking forward to seeing you there!
