Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Thursday, August 5, 2010 at 11:52AM | Becks Davis I spend a lot of time on the internet, sometimes too much time. Recently, I came across this little tidbit from dumblaws.com:
It is illegal to let your pig run free in Detroit unless it has a ring in its nose.
Hipster pigs? Really? I feel so out of touch with the pigs.

Definitely hit up the St. Andrews Highland Games! My sister is a Highland dancer and will be competing Saturday.
The Celidh on Friday is a must! What's better than good music, meat pies and plenty of Scottish and Irish Beer/Whiskey!
B Nektar Meadery in Ferndale is holding an open house for its Second Anniversary celebration. I'll be there for some free mead tastings. (mead is often referred to as honey wine, for those unfamiliar with the term).

Audrey,
How cool that you're sister is dancing at the Highland Games. My husband read "meat pies" and his eyes lit up!
Wolfger,
Thanks for adding the B Nektar Meadery Anniversary celebration. I tasted some of their fine products at the "I Love Detroit" video contest wrap party. Good stuff!
Many were overjoyed to read this Detroit over the weekend. They read about their pet in this article.
