Good Morning Saline: Miracle Treat Day at DQ, a Unique Resale Store, Art at the Library, and More.

The Weather

The Saline Hornets at fall sports camps sure got lucky. Expect another gorgeous, sunny and mild day. Weather.com is calling for a high of 80 with mostly sunny skies. The sun will rise at 6:38 a.m. and set at 8:42 p.m.

Buy a Blizzard at DQ and Help Sick Kids

A portion of the proceeds from every Blizzard sold at the Saline today will be donated to the Children’s Miracle Network kids at Beaumont Children’s Hospital. Last year, Miracle Treat Day in the U.S. and Canada raised nearly $5 million for Children’s Miracle Network hospitals.

Washtenaw Christian Opens Resale Store

AnnArbor.com journalist Lizzy Alfs has the scoop on the new resale store, Nu2U, set to open in the old Fashion Bug location in the Commons at Sauk Trail plaza in Saline. The store is owned by Washtenaw Christian Academy and staffed by volunteers with 100 percent of profits going back to the school.

See the Art, Be the Art

If you’ve been by the library since yesterday you probably noticed something different. The gang at are up to something again. This time, it’s an art installation that ties in with the summer reading things, which are: One World, May Stories; You Are Here; and Novel Destination. The installation will be completed by Friday. At that point, people are welcome to walk around and “become part of” the art project. There is a meet and greet set for 10 a.m. to noon on Aug. 27.

Christmas Wishes From Wisconsin

When you tour the country and entertain children with your famous marionette company for 40 years, like Meredith Bixby did, you probably earn the kind of karma that brings this kind of magic to your life. On Dec. 23, 1958, the Milwaukee Sentinel reported a story about two balloons, carrying a Christmas greeting from an 11-year-old Wisconsin girl, that were found by Meredith Bixby snagged in the shrubbery outside of WOIA Radio Station in Saline. Bixby was president of the station. A note was attached to balloons:

Please fill me out and mail me back, Found me where? And when? Beverly Small, 711 ½ 4th St., Mosinee, Wis. This is my Christmas greeting to whoever finds this.

She sent up the balloons as part of a Campfire Girls project. Her balloons travelled nearly 400 miles, as the balloon flies. 

Today's Good Morning Saline greeting was given by Dairy Queen employees Alison Gray and Lindsey Wilcox.
