ScrapBook: Movie in the Park

The Saline Recreation Center began its 20th Anniversary celebration Friday night with Movie in the Park and other activities.

Because of the special weekend, the event was moved from Mill Pond Park to Tefft Park, behind the Rec Center. Daycroft Montessori provided crafts for kids. Children bounced around in an inflatable jumper and obstacle course. Others made sand castles in the volleyball courts. Prizes and t-shirts were given away. Kids toured Saline Area Fire Department fire engines and a Huron Valley Ambulance.

The fun continues Saturday and Sunday. Here's the schedule of events:
