The Dairy Queens located nearest Clawson are at 3201 Rochester Road in Royal Oak and inside of Oakland Mall in Troy.

3. Take in some jazz at the Maple Theater Cafe in Bloomfield Hills on Thursday night, as the Dave Lundin-Keith Malinowski Duo plays "Real Jazz for Real Jazz Lovers," featuring the works of the likes of Miles, Coltrane and Monk. Jazz is free with drinks, goodies and film available.

4. Snack healthier at the Royal Oak Farmers' Market on Thursday and at the Corn Fest on Saturday, where Raw Foodie brand superfoods will be at the Motor City Pizza Fest offering super nutritious, enzyme-rich superfoods.

5. Enjoy ice cream sundaes and family fun activities courtesy of the Troy Nature Society on Sunday.
