In their first blog, the Dexter Bakery announced the arrival of gluten-free, egg-free, dairy-free, soy and peanut-free baked goods. Anne Duffy writes, "While we will continue to carry our yummy traditional pastries, we are now happy to accommodate those customers in our community that have certain dietary restrictions. We were thrilled to discover No More Belly Aching, a wonderful Michigan bakery that specializes in all types of tasty breads, muffins, cupcakes, cookies and pies made for those individuals with various allergies and sensitivities. We will be carrying all these items starting April 2013."

Dexter Garden Club Writes About Summer Events

Are You Ready to Be a Wish-A-Mile Star?

On Saline Patch, blogger Brigid Lossing writes about Make-A-Wish of Michigan's annual Wish-A-Mile 50 event. Lossing writes, "RydeOn! team 50 is the idea of our dear RydeOn! “sister” Tina Farraro of Saline, who has offered to take the lead in creating our team and leading us to victory for the kids. How hard is a fifty mile bike ride? Let's put it in the context of one of our usual indoor cycling classes. During a RydeOn! class most participants pedal about twenty miles – but that's a hard twenty miles where everyone is pushing as hard as they can to get the most out of their workout. On July 28, though, Wish-A-Mile 50 riders will have more than six hours to complete the trip."
