* The City of Birmingham
is hosting Concerts in the
Park, every Thursday night un-
til Sept. 4. Concerts begin at
7:30 p.m. and are free. You
can bring along snacks or a pic-
nic dinner and introduce your
children to the joy of listening
to different kinds of music. If
Fridays are better for your fam-
ily, you can still find something
to do in Birmingham because
the city also hosts a series of
fun entertainment events,
"Summer in the City," for fam-

ilies every Friday evening, at
6:30 p.m., from July 11 until
Aug. 29. The series includes
music, dance, theater and pup-
petry. Performances will be
held on the steps of City Hall,
located at 151 Martin Street in
downtown. Audience partici-
pation is encouraged. It's great
fun for a family to sing, dance
and act silly together. If you go,
bring your lawn chair or a
blanket.

he Metropolitan De-
troit area is overflow-
ing with family-
centered activities
this summer. Contact your lo-
cal Parks & Recreation depart-
ment for city events, call your
library for fun activities or
browse the headings in the
yellow pages for new ideas.
Whatever you decide, have
fun and remember that time
spent as a family is time well
spent.
And don't forget to make
time for at least one day of
making mud pies or running
through the sprinkler so your
children can experience the
simple pleasures of summer
fun.
