Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup

I don’t have anything wise or witty to say today before presenting today's top picks for things to do in Detroit this weekend. I’m not saying that I usually say something wise or witty, just that I don’t have anything to say today.

So you won’t get any snow or Olympic updates today. Not from me, at least.

All I have to say today is enjoy Detroit.

The Enjoy Detroit mural is off of Jefferson Avenue.

Weekend Roundup

1. Young Frankenstein - The classic Mel Brooks movie is now a musical and Dr. "Fronkensteen" is live on stage. Now through March 14th.

2. Disney on Ice presents Let's Celebrate! - More than 50 characters from 16 Disney stories hit the ice at The Palace of Auburn Hills. February 25-28.

3. Spring Artists' Market at Leon & Lulu - 38 Michigan artists will be showing their wares at this fanciful home furnishings store housed in the former Ambassador Skating Rink. February 28th & March 2nd.

4. Great Lakes Shipwreck Festival - Programs will feature exciting sessions on Great Lakes shipwrecks, as well as exhibits from the Dossin Great Lakes Museum and others. February 27th.

5. 2010 Outdoorama - If you're into hunting, fishing, boating, canoeing, hiking, mushroom hunting or bird watching this is the place to be! February 25-28.

But wait! There's more! Don't forget about Word-Up! Talking Trash for Kids on Saturday, February 27th. That's where I'm going to be on Saturday night.

Do you know of a great event going in on Metro Detroit this weekend? Add it to the comments and share it with us!

Nadianne,
I found this link with name of your grand father: http://bit.ly/aoLqVW
I would also try the Detroit Public Library website: http://www.detroit.lib.mi.us/

Hope this helps.
