Good Morning: Take the Trolley, Plan for the Fair, See Who's On the Ballot and More

The Weather

Finally, some relief. Weather.com is calling for partly sunny skies and a high of 83. The humidity won’t be so bad, either. 

Ride the Trolley Through Saline History

Visitors to Saline’s Summerfest on Saturday will be treated to an old fashion trolley tour through one of Saline’s historic districts.  Bob Lane will provide a narration highlighting the events and places in Saline History that make Saline a wonderful place to live today.  The trolley will take on passengers at the main four corners downtown and tours will last about 30 minutes. Passengers will travel west along Michigan Avenue to Barnegatt, which was once Saline’s “suburb” and the Schulyer Mills, now known as Wellers. The rides are free and are being sponsored by the Saline Area Historical Society.
