Bill and Donna Sumner were just a coup le of the hundreds who came out to the gazebo in Monument Park every Friday to enjoy live music entertainment. “This is Dexter’s best kept Friday night secret,” Donna Sumner said. “We got some- thing to eat at Hazel’s Home Cookin’, enjoyed the good music and hit up the Dairy Queen afterwards.” For the past several years, the concert series has been Dexter’s closest thing to Chelsea’s Sounds and Sights on Thursday nights, which similarly uses locally popular bands to draw visitors to the downtown area. Dexter’s concert series has featured popular musicians such as Bull Halsey, Men in Black, and Gas for Less. The event has also involved entertainment for children, such as jugglers and magic acts. Ace Milne and Fran Schultz said they enjoy attending the Dexter concerts for their qual- ity musical talent and com- munity feel. “We switched over from Plymouth’s concert series to this one. It’s been the best year ever here so far – we’ve attended every week,” Milne said. L & J Landscape owners Leisa and Jamie Cobb said that the concert series is something that Dexter has needed “for a long time.” “We used to go into Ann Arbor every weekend, but now we’re staying local more and more,” Jamie Cobb said. Hazel’s Home Cookin’ own- ers Denise and Bob Livingston said that the event has defi- nitely had an impact on their business. “Business has doubled on Friday nights,” Denise said adding that the zenith of her By Sean Dalton Heritage Newspapers Dexter Village officials sub- mitted a plan for approval to begin construction on the Mill Creek Park this month. They hope to see the former dam impoundment that is located south of Main Street and across the street from the Dexter Area Fire Department under construction by early spring 2011, according to Community Develo pment Manager Allison Bishop. The park development will also include numerous path- ways, boardwalks, fishing spots and observation decks, as well as boat launches and next summer,” Bishop said. “The park will be open to the public and will eventually connect to the Washtena w County Border-to-Borde r projects slated to start this fall, and the potential non- motorized path connection to Hudson Mills.” That will occur through a collaborative trail planning project between the Villa ge of Dexter , the Washtenaw County Parks Commission, the Washtenaw County Road Commission, and the Huron Clinton Metropolitan Authority. “The village and its proj- ect partners are excited at the opportunity to construct over 10 miles o f non motor- ized trails to the area and for the residents and visitors of Dexter,” Bishop said.

This is the second year the Dexter Lions have orga- nized the festival, but the first to feature a car show. Lion’s member Dennis Berry is one of the organiz- ers for the car show, and he said the Lions hope the addition of the car show will help the festival appeal to a wider audience. “It’s typically been attended by families with young children, and we were hoping the car show would attract a broader demographic,” Berry said. Events at Monument Park will include an apple pie eating contest and hay- rides. Apple treats, including caramel apples and apple cider, will be on sale, and vendors will sell crafts. Berry said it wasn’t con- firmed yet, but they hoped to bring in animals for a petting zoo and rides as well. The car show will be held on Central Street, adjacent to Monument Park. The public is invited to bring classic cars, street rods or special-interest vehicles to the Apple Daze Car Show. There is no fee or pre-reg- istration necessary, but Berry suggested calling ahead at 668-8437 to reserve a spot.
