Northville - Buy Michigan Now Week
"Downtown Northville has announced it will partner with Buy Michigan Now to be the host location for “Buy Michigan Week” July 27-August 2. The week long festivities will include various Michigan entertainment, educational seminars and Michigan-made products.
Launched in 2007 by Lisa Diggs, Buy Michigan Now is a statewide initiative to inform, educate and encourage Michiganders, organizations and consumers alike, to support the local economy by purchasing products and services made in Michigan and from Michigan-based companies.
“The Buy Michigan Now campaign is about heightening awareness and revitalizing our state’s economy one product, one purchase, and one business at a time. We are very excited to be working with Northville to celebrate Buy Michigan Week. Their vibrant art, restaurant, and retail community is representative of great towns all over the state, and provides an ideal showcase for the bright spots in Michigan’s blossoming new economy,” said Lisa Diggs.
The Buy Michigan Now initiative is further enhanced by the official proclamation from Michigan Governor Jennifer M. Granholm stating that the week of July 27, 2009 is Buy Michigan Week in Michigan. In the proclamation, Governor Granholm states her support of the initiative “I encourage all residents of this state to take advantage of the many great products and services that the state of Michigan has to offer by buying Michigan first.”
Huntington Woods-based Ta-Dah Productions will produce the week’s festivities. For information on vendor opportunities, contact Ta-Dah Productions at248-548-2324 or Contahttp://www.buymichigannow.com/%22mailto:ContactUs@Ta-Dah.com/%22 or download the Vendor/Exhibitor form. A full list of events and Michigan vendor opportunities for the week of July 27-August 2 will be announced soon".
Our Pledge: I hereby pledge to play an active role in building a strong, vibrant, and diverse Michigan economy. I will be a part of the solution by speaking positively about the state, learning about our products and services, and making a concerted effort to buy from Michigan businesses. I will Think Michigan First! I am asking you today to join with me and take a stand. If you haven't taken the Pledge yet, please click on the link below or cut and past it into your browser, and add your name and city to demonstrate your commitment to the state. It literally takes only a moment. If you already have, thank you so much! Either way, please also forward this on to friends, family, colleagues, and anyone else you know who wants to be a part of Michigan's revitalization. C'mon, lend a mitten to our great state today! http://www.buymichigannow.com/pledge.php Thank you in advance!

Ann Arbor - Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)
If the Ann Arbor Art Fair weekend gets rain or to get a break from the heat, consider this an alternate plan:
On March 28, 2009, the University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA) opened a landmark 53,000-square-foot expansion and major restoration of its historic, 41,000-square-foot home, Alumni Memorial Hall. Designed by principal architect Brad Cloepfil and his team at Allied Works Architecture, the $41.9 million transformation not only more than doubles the space available for collections display, temporary exhibitions, programs and educational exploration, but also fulfills the Museum’s mission to bridge visual art and contemporary culture, scholarship and accessibility, tradition and innovation.
