Published 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Saturday, May 10, 2025.
Traverse City is buzzing with activity today as we head into the second weekend of May. The Traverse City Trail Running Festival kicks off bright and early at 7 AM at the VASA Trail system. Today's races include the 100K and 100K Relay, along with the 50K, 75K, 25K, and 10K events. Whether you're a participant or spectator, it's sure to be an exciting day on the trails.
Art enthusiasts won't want to miss the "Small Expressions" exhibit at the Dennos Museum Center on NMC's campus. This annual juried exhibition from the Handweavers Guild of America showcases contemporary small-scale works using fiber techniques. All pieces are under 15 inches in any direction and represent some of the finest fiber art created in the past two years. The museum opens at 11 AM, and the exhibit runs through May 25th.
Looking for a bargain? The Father Fred Foundation Annual Garage Sale begins at 9 AM today. You'll find everything from clothes and jewelry to household goods, antiques, and sporting equipment.
Nature lovers can join the Garlic Mustard Workbee at Hickory Hills starting at 9 AM. This collaborative effort between ISN and the Grand Traverse Conservation District focuses on managing this invasive species.
For families with children, the Main Library in Traverse City is hosting a 4-H program called "Going to the Fair" from 11 AM to noon. This is a great opportunity for young ones to learn about agricultural traditions.
Art continues to be a theme today with the "Random Exhibition" beginning at 9 AM, featuring "Random: Collages From The Scrap Pile," an exhibition of spontaneous artwork created from everyday materials.
The weather calls for mild temperatures with a slight chance of afternoon showers, so you might want to bring a light jacket if you're planning to be out all day.
Remember, all these events are part of what makes our community special, and there's truly something for everyone today in Traverse City – from outdoor adventures to artistic experiences and community service.
This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
