Thanks Northville!

Last weekend was the Buy Michigan festival and it was extremely beneficial for our town and the companies who were advertising.  I think Northville saw how successful it was allowing the beer/wine tasting in the town center so everyone could listen to the music and hang out with friends.  I am sure they learned how to change it next year and perhaps not charge for wristbands? I know of several other beer companies from Michigan that would probably love to advertise their product by sponsoring another Friday night concert next year!  IF the proper advertising was done prior to the event, it would be a huge event! Many people I spoke to did not know the Buy Michigan festival was even happening until the day before.  Maybe next year, more signs, more advertising, more kids activities (like a bounce house, for $1 a bounce) could also be there. Why not bring in a few local farmer too?  There are endless ideas.  I think the business that were downtown were also surprised at their traffic.  I know Rebecca's was, still had the best service with a smile and the best lunch!  Thanks!
