Match and Youth Activities

This is a great place to get ideas for fun activities!  Have you participated in a local event or activity that you would recommend to others?  Would you like to add an event in Clinton, Eaton, Ingham, Ionia or Shiawassee counties to the list?  We want your feedback on the area events that you have gone to, and activities or outings you have had with your Big or Little that you think others would enjoy.  We think it's worth telling others!
