With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we’ve compiled a few experiences unique to Flint & Genesee for celebrating the women in your life. This weekend, you could:
Go shopping.
In addition to the area’s many retailers, there are some special shopping events scheduled for this weekend. For example, more than 40 vendors will be at the Fenton Community & Cultural Center for Mom’s Market on Saturday, May 7, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. In Davison, there will be a Mother’s Day Craft Show at the Davison Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Take her to a concert.
The Flint School of Performing Arts (FSPA) will present “Lullabies Live: A Mother’s Love in Song” on Saturday, May 7 at 3 p.m. in the MacArthur Recital Hall. Ten songs from FSPA’s Carnegie Hall Lullaby Projects – which invites young pregnant women and new parents to work with professional musicians to create a personalized lullaby for their child – will be performed live in a fundraiser to support future projects.
