Bath children take part in trick-or-treat trial run

A child trick or treats from the decorated ambulance during the event. At 6 p.m. on Oct. 28 cars filled the parking lot of Bath High School and were lined up the driveway until the road. Costumed kids were flowing in a steady stream with their parents and grandparents to the center of the action. A child in an inflatable dinosaur costume waddled to the back of the line, waiting for the Halloween festivities.

Bath Fire Department turns 90

People gather for the Bath Township Fire Department’s 90th anniversary open house

Smoke was slowly billowing from the ceiling of the trailer, seeping through the windows. Within a few minutes nothing could be seen from inside without kneeling on the floor. This was the experience for people exploring the smoke house in the Bath Fire Department parking lot on Sunday Oct. sixth. “The smoke house is a trailer that is basically set up like a small house, we can show kids smoke alarms and there’s an upper level that simulates a bedroom that they have to get out of,” Fire Chief Dave Snider said.

Bath Truck or Treat offers option for parents, children

As October comes and the spooky season begins, the idea of candy and trick-or-treating comes to the minds of many children. But with Halloween there is only one opportunity, and sometimes this can be complicated like if the holiday falls on a weekday or has unpredicted weather. For children in Bath Charter Township, there’s a solution to this problem. That solution is the annual Truck or Treat event on Oct. 21 from 6-7 in the parking lot of Bath High School.

A walk with Detroit’s favorite demon

A red demon whose presence indicates doom for Detroit may seem like a strange cause for organizing, but each March the idea of the Nain Rouge brings hundreds to the historic Cass Corridor. The reason for this gathering is the annual Marche Du Nain Rouge. The Marche is an event run primarily by volunteers and occurs each year at the end of March. The event is a parade of sorts in the style of Mardi Gras, one that turns the spectator into a participant. This is one of the things that keeps Patrick Kage, 52, coming each year.
