Making Memories for MorningSide Kids

October was the perfect time for some kid-focused events in our community.

October Fest, hosted on October 23 by Motor City Grounds Crew at their headquarters on Barham, featured a maze created from native plants, farm animals, pumpkin painting, and cider and donuts.

Alger in the Alley, sponsored by Friends of the Alger Theater, Brilliant Detroit, and the Jefferson Branch of the Detroit Public Library, celebrated Halloween in the alley between the library and the Alger with a DJ, Halloween crafts supervised by cat ladies and dragons, story-time in the library’s back yard, selfies, and popcorn fresh out of an old-fashioned popcorn machine.
