By Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 These warm months of summer are the times that Michigan residents flock to local parks and campgrounds to enjoy water sports, fishing and relaxing on one of the more than 31,000 lakes in the state. While there certainly is an appeal to “getting away from at all” in a faraway destination, there are also many reasons why camping close to home might be a fun strategy to try.Here’s why:• Friends can visit your local camping spot. You can invite friends over for an over-the-campfire dinner and catch up on friendships that often get lost in the busyness of everyday life.• You can take laundry home or grab other necessities as needed.• Kids can still be involved with their ac-tivities, allowing other family members to still enjoy a vacation. Otherwise, their sports schedules tend to make it difficult to plan a vacation.• If one of you has to work occasionally, there’s still a chance to unwind in the evening over a campfire.• There’s no “commute” to the camp-ground, so more of your time is actually spent on vacation. If camping close to home helps you to squeeze a little more time out of your vacations, here are a few places locally for you to try:

Try close-to-home camping

Seven Lakes State Park in Holly With 70 modern campsites on the edge of Sand Lake, this is a popular des-tination, so you may have to make early reservations or settle for a cancellation. Your family will enjoy a swimming beach, toilet facilities with showers, a picnic area, playground, swimming, fishing, hiking and biking.McGinnis Lake Campground at Holly Recreation Area You might think you’re at an up north campground at this beautiful recreation sight. A total of 158 large, premium camp sites, including 144 with electrical hookup, dominate this unique area. The Elm and Cedar cabins are available for rent, sleeping four adults and offering electricity, picnic table, fire ring and grill. Both cabins are near the East Campground shower building, basketball court, playgrounds and activity area.Groveland Oaks Campground in Holly This camping resort offers country-side settings, with all the fun of orga-nized recreational programs and on-site fun. A giant waterslide, playscape, 18-hole mini-golf, fishing, boating and pedal boating make this a family recreation destination. A total of 269 modern sites with ce-ment pads, water and electricity, shower

Local campgrounds provide convenient amenities

uSummer fireworks displays light up skies with excitementBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 Some of the most exciting events of sum-mer are fireworks displays, which create a spectacular finale for many local festivals or “stand on their own” to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday. Fenton’s Freedom Festival will conclude at dusk on Friday, July 4 with fireworks set to patriotic music for the first time, accord-ing to Festival Chair person Pat Lockwood. The fireworks will be set off at Silver Lake Park, with viewing available in all the sur-rounding areas. Other Independence Day fireworks displays may not actually occur on July 4, but will celebrate the holiday with a ‘boom.’ New fireworks legislation passed in Michi-gan in 2012 and the city of Fenton passed an ordinance to restrict fireworks use to the day before, the day of and the day after most major holidays, including the Fourth of July. Also, many area lake festivals will include fireworks in their celebrations. In addition to Fenton’s July 4 fireworks show, there are also fireworks in Flint on Thursday, July 3 at 9:30 p.m. with the best viewing at Atwood Stadium at 701 Univer-sity Ave. in Flint. If you’re a true fireworks fan and want to visit some top-rated Michigan fireworks shows, check out: • Detroit Ford Fireworks, sponsored by Target, on Monday, June 23 at the Hart Plaza along the Detroit River. Expect a huge crowd and free admission, organizers say. • Bay City Fireworks Festival on July 3, 4 and 5 at 10:05 p.m. at Wenonah Park, 810 North Water St. Admission: $1 for Veteran’s Park and $5 for Wenonah Park. • Rochester Festival of the Hills, Wednes-day, June 25 at 10:06 p.m. at Borden Park, 1400 East Hamlin Rd., free admission.

More fireworks = more complaints With the passage of the Michigan Fireworks Safety Act in 2012, fire-works that are more plentiful result in more opportunities for abuse of Michi-gan’s recent law. “We’ve had more instances of problems and complaints since fire-works have been made less restric-tive,” said Fenton Fire Chief Robert Cairnduff. “It’s one thing to have the city ordinance in place and another to be able to enforce it. People have to also abide by the noise ordinance, which includes fireworks restrictions during the middle of the night.” The best advice? Leave fireworks up to the professionals at public displays. But those who do decide to light off their own should heed these guidelines:• Stand far away and back off after lighting.• Only buy fireworks from autho-rized retailers.• Keep a bucket of water or hose on hand in case of fire. Then, when the fireworks stop burning, dunk them in the water bucket or spray with a hose.• Never try to re-light a firework that didn’t ignite the first time, or reuse duds. Wait 15 to 20 minutes and then put them in the water bucket or spray with the hose.• Stand several feet away from lit fireworks. • Use extra caution around children.• Be extra careful with sparklers. Little arms are too short to hold sparklers, which can heat up to 1200 degrees. Let your young children use glow sticks instead. Fireworks and your pet This time of year can be especially stressful for dogs and cats, with fire-works and the loud noises of thunder-storms.• Try to block the noise with back-ground music or TV.• Keep the pet inside when there are loud noises outside.• Provide a safe “escape,” with a small crate or bed and familiar blanket.• Keep pets away from hot embers, lighters, lighter fluid, fireworks, spar-klers, etc.• Don’t scold. Be patient. Dogs cannot control their reaction to loud noise.

Celebrate summer with a ‘boom!’

Leave the TV on or provide other distractions for your pet when fireworks are going off outside.Gary LaBar, DVM, Pointe Animal Clinic

uTown pride, nostalgia and entertainment are why Americans love paradesBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 Tracy Boettcher, 50, estimates that she actually cycles about 15 miles dur-ing the parade route of the Fenton Free-dom Festival Parade, circling around on her unicycle to keep her balance. She’s a favorite in the parade every year, enjoying all the “hoots and hol-lers” as she cycles by, using every muscle in her legs to keep upright. “It’s great exercise,” she said, but

Everyone loves a parade

TRI-COUNTY TIMES | FILE PHOTO

Brody Koscielniak, 2, of Fenton attends the 2013 Fenton Freedom Festival Parade with father Paul.

that’s not the only reason she likes to cycle in the parade. “I love seeing all the local people gathered in one spot. I know just about everybody.” Seeing all your neighbors and friends gather together on (hopefully) a beautiful summer day is one of the main reasons people love a good ol’ fashioned parade. Parades can be very nostalgic, especially when they’re “parading by” in your own hometown. The popularity of parades has roots in the military and politics. They became associated with fairs and fes-tivals in medieval times, when people

PARADEContinued from Page 4came together to hear about current events, followed by a flashy parade to brighten peoples’ lives. Mardi Gras and Carnival parades stem from the religious obliga-tions associated with Lent, and feature a celebratory excess from conventional social norms. Local parades give people a chance to view all the special things about their town in one long procession — from bands to businesses, plus community leaders, decorated floats, parade queens and more. The first festival parade of the summer season is this weekend during the Linden Mills Days, when marching bands, floats, cars, trucks and businesses were scheduled to step out in formation on Saturday, June 21 at 10 a.m., marching through downtown Linden. The next big parade will be on Friday, July 4th during the Fenton Freedom Fes-tival, one of Genesee County’s largest

parade events. Bands, floats, queens and politicians will step out on Friday, July 4 at 10 a.m. in downtown Fenton, following their traditional parade route. Watch for the special Grand Marshal’s vehicle, which will carry this year’s Grand Marshals – Fr. David Harvey, retired senior pastor of St. John the Evan-gelist Catholic Church in Fen-ton and the Rev. Dale Swihart, retired pastor of First Presbyte-rian Church of Fenton. In charge of this year’s parade is a parade committee headed by longtime organizer Scott Grossmeyer. It’s a big job to manage a parade, which includes planning, line-up, marshaling, staging and other related activities.

I love seeing all the local people gathered in one spot.Tracy Boettcher

uLocal parks offer sandy beaches for summertime swimming and picnicsBy Sally [email protected]; 810-629-8282 There’s nothing like sand and water to create a natural summer playground for all ages. The tri-county area’s small public beaches may not rival the pristine white sandy beaches of Florida or California, but they offer the same spirit of fun much closer to home. No matter where you live in the tri-county area, you’re not more than a few miles away from a sandy shore. Boasting more than 50 lakes, Fenton, Linden and Holly have an abundance of beaches where you and friends, and family can hang out for the day. Here’s where you can go to “get wet” this summer.

FENTONSilver Lake Park The public beach at Silver Lake Park is bustling with activity on warm, sunny days in the summer. Boasting a 300-foot beach and the safety of lifeguards, Silver Lake is a summertime destination for a swim or a picnic. A concession stand, vol-leyball nets, changing areas and restrooms make it easy to spend an entire day here, just for the small price of park admission ($1 for walk-in, $5 per car). You’ll have to leave your dog at home, though, because it’s a pet-free beach. You can get to the beach at 16100 Jen-nings Rd., across from the Silver Park-way Plaza, open Memorial Day through Labor Day.Fenton Township Public Beach At the north end of Lake Fenton, this small but well-kept beach is one of the best-kept secrets of the area. Located di-rectly behind the Fenton Township Civic Community Center on Mantawauka Drive, this 25-foot beach boasts picnic tables, benches, a playground and a wind-ing boardwalk with a barrier-free ramp.

Get wet this summer “We’re very busy in the summer, especially with young families,” said Tom Broecker, operations manager/deputy clerk for Fenton Township. The beach is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. “You’re very welcome to bring a picnic or cooler.” Leave your bikes at home, however, because the space is too small to accommodate them. Entrance to the beach is free.

LINDENClover Beach Clover Beach is one of the area’s most popular beach destinations, with a scenic location on Byram Lake. Open from 12 to 7 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day, this beach offers free admission, while sunbathers enjoy playgrounds, pa-vilions, picnic areas and more. Operated by Genesee County Parks & Recreation, Clover Beach boasts more than 400 feet of well-maintained sandy shores.

HOLLYSeven Lakes State Park Sun worshippers can flock to Seven Lakes State Park for beachfront fun

on Big Seven Lake. An an-nual Recreational Passport or daily entrance fee will pro-vide entrance into the park, including the beach, where you can enjoy playground equipment, picnic sites and so much more.Groveland Oaks County Park For thrills and chills, enjoy a 25-foot slide into Stewart Lake. A sandy beach greets swimmers, and a concession area and bathhouse make it an

easy place to spend the day. For more fam-ily fun, this park also boasts the largest playscape in the Oakland County Parks system. An annual pass or daily entrance fee is required. Holly Recreation Area This wilderness wonderland offers swim-mers an opportunity to enjoy a day of pic-nicking and swimming along the shores of Heron Lake. With a sandy beach the size of 1½ football fields, it’s a huge draw to sum-mer visitors who can also enjoy picnics, vol-leyball, cookouts, concessions and a variety of water activities.
