Good eats from some local eateries will be on tap at the 6th Annual Penn-Taste-Tic Downtown Plymouth Restaurant Crawl.

The event, which benefits the Friends of the Penn Theatre and the Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce, will kick off Wednesday, and run from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are only available at the Plymouth Community Chamber of Commerce, 850 W. Ann Arbor Trail, and Sun & Snow, 388 S. Main St.

Adult tickets are $20 each, and children 10 and under are $15.

Teri Fry, the events manager for the Chamber, said the event will provide a donation to the Penn and provide restaurants with an opportunity to rope in new customers.

"It's a good event for the business community because it brings traffic downtown," she said. "And we enjoy helping out the Penn, which has been a longtime fixture downtown."

Ellen Elliott, president of Friends of the Penn, which operates the theater, said the assistance from the chamber is a big help for the theater.

"We're happy to get the help," she said. "It's great that the business community continues to support us."

Elliot also said the monies will be used for the theater's renovations.

This year, crawlers can walk around downtown Plymouth enjoying samples and treats from many restaurants, including the Box Bar & Grill; Cellar 849; Compari's; E.G. Nicks; Ironwood Grill; Jimmy John's; Nico & Vali; Panera Bread; Perfectly Sweet/Boule Artisan Bakery; Sweet Afton Tea Room; Sweets 21 and Yogurt Palooza.

Though food lovers, or those want to support the Chamber and the Penn, will get their choice of treats, the restaurants will also win because they get an opportunity to familiarize more people with their offerings, said Frank Agostini, the owner of E.G. Nicks, which will provide samplers of their award-winning ribs and artichoke dip.

"Any time that you can your food into people's mouths, it's a good opportunity," he said.

Agostini also said it's important for locals businesses to support others, like the Penn, to preserve the downtown area.

"The Penn is a landmark, and it's still here because of the support it gets," he said. "A lot of landmarks that used to be here are gone."

Craig Turk, the co-owner of Yogurt Palooza with his business partner, Chris Tomei, said his business will offer two-ounce cups of frozen yogurts, of which 14 flavors will be available.

"It's self-serve, so they will be able to choose what they want," he said.

Some of the flavors are likely to include Island Banana, Pistachio, Country Vanilla, Chocolate, and many others.

Yogurt Palooza, which sells frozen yogurt by the ounce, opened in Plymouth this past July. Turk said he hopes the event will create additional awareness for the fledgling business.

"I'm hoping it allows more people to know we're here," he said.

In addition to enjoying many types of food, participants will also get a chance to vote for their favorite taste and restaurant.

Dick Scott Motor Mall Donates $2,450 to

CASE Cares for Barrier Free Playground Equipment

 

LANSING, MI - 9/28/11 - Dick Scott Motor Mall, located in Fowlerville, is donating $2,450 to CASE Cares to be used towards the purchase of playground equipment for children with physical and/or mental disabilities to play on at Lansing's Potter Park.

Says Jud Scott, Vice President of Dick Scott Motor Mall, "We are delighted to be able to support the development of the playground for these children.  To raise the money, we held a special promotion between August 15 and 31, 2011, and made the commitment to donate $50 for every automobile sold during that time."

"We are extremely grateful to everyone at Dick Scott Motor Mall for their support of this very worthwhile project.  It is our belief that children in the greater Lansing area with physical and/or mental disabilities will have more opportunities to safely play - and just have fun," says Kathy Devine, Chair, CASE Cares board of directors.  The playground will also provide a barrier-free environment where children, parents, grandparents, and siblings can relax and interact.  When completed, this project will help maximize the development of children, regardless of their age or ability."

Ingham County Parks and Recreation officials are providing the land at Potter Park for the playground.  CASE Cares is responsible for obtaining the funding and overseeing the project's development and construction.  There are over 115,000 children in the greater Lansing region (Ingham, Eaton, Clinton, Ionia, Livingston and Shiawassee counties) with physical and/or mental challenges.  Kids should be kids - it's their job to play and have fun.  Because of varied disabilities or special needs, their opportunities are limited.

Dick Scott Motor Mall is family owned and operated and has served the Ingham and Livingston county area for over 22 years.  They are a full service dealer for Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram, including sales, service, body shop and glass repair.

CASE Cares is an all volunteer, 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization established by CASE Credit Union during fall 2007.

To make a donation, obtain more information and/or volunteer, interested persons may call 517.393.7710, x1030 or email casecares@casecu.org.

A wine and cheese reception Thursday marks the opening of Oakland Community College Women Center's annual show.

Julia Kling wandered around the Smith Theatre Gallery at Oakland Community College (OCC) in Farmington Hills Thursday evening, poring over 34 art works in the "From Our Perspectives" national women's art exhibition.

"There's a lot of good work," said Kling, an au pair living in Bloomfield and studying at OCC's Highland Lakes campus. "It's really interesting to look at and think about."

Juror Shiva Ahmadi selected "Has Ear No Mouth", a haunting depiction of a geisha, by Hui Chi Lee of Lexington, KY, as Best of Show. Other honorees were:

President's Award: "Hard Work Never Killed Anyone", Suzanne Anan, Belmar, NJ

Purchase Award: "Untitled", Aspen Hochhalter, Charlotte, NC

Honorable Mention: "I'm Telling You Now", Ginger Burrell, San Jose, CA and "Reluctant Vessel: Final", Ann Smith, Plymouth MI

Smith attended the show's opening night reception. Her 2009 work, fabricated from new and reclaimed materials, uses a suspended overturned horseshoe crab as a metaphor, with its telson, or tail spine, (normally used to turn the crab back over) piercing a decorative golden platter.

The piece signifies a significant point in her career.

"It's a moment of resolve as regards my profession. I wanted to delve a little bit more into the art, and not to the designers' bidding," Smith said.

Two Farmington artists, Valerie McNeece and Sandra Shelly, also have works selected for the show among more than 300 entries from around the country. McNeece's photo is titled, "Front Yard Prayer Service"; Shelly's piece is "After the Fire".

The 21st annual exhibition runs through Friday, Oct. 14 at the Orchard Ridge Campus' Smith Theatre Gallery. Viewing hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Saturday will make securing a passport easier for aspiring travelers who normally can't get away from their day jobs during the week.

Local passport offices across the nation are offering Passport Day on Saturday, the only non-weekday of the year where offices will be open to process passports.

According to an email by Plymouth Township Deputy Clerk Eric Bacyinski, this is significant because when minors apply for passports, both the parent and the applicant must be present, meaning the parent would have to take time off work.

Bacyinski said in the email that Saturday is the rescheduled date from an original date scheduled in April, but was canceled because of a possible government shutdown.

Bacyinski wrote that more information can be found at the state's travel website.

The hours will run from 10 a.m,-3 p.m. Saturday.

Locally, passports can be processed at Plymouth Township Hall, 9955 N. Haggerty Road in Plymouth Township and Plymouth City Hall, 201 S. Main St.
