The Dexter restaurant will offer brisket, ribs, and Southern-style comfort food beginning Nov. 24.
Dexter's newest eatery will open its doors downtown just in time to capitalize on holiday traffic during the annual Winter Festival on Saturday. Hotel Hickman's Chuckwagon BBQ, located at 8050 Main Street next to Dexter Flowers, features everything from traditional barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, to Texas-style brisket, baby back ribs, and smoked sausage. "Everything is made right here in the restaurant," co-owner Scott Thomas said.

Start your holiday shopping at locally owned stores during Small Business Saturday.
Small Business Saturday is on Nov. 24 this year, two days after Thanksgiving. It is a day for everyone to support the small businesses that their community thrives on. American Express founded the day in 2010 to help small businesses get exposure during the holiday season, when they might be otherwise overlooked. With retailers buzzing around the holidays, it is important to support local small businesses that rely on their neighbors in order to continue prospering and building the local economy in Saline.

The Michigan Academy of Dance & Music combines dancing with physical therapy during a weekly "Fun Fridays" class.
When it comes to dancing, Janice Sokansanj, the director of Michigan Academy of Dance & Music in Dexter, has come to realize the old cliche is true: “If you build it, they will come.” Sokansanj didn’t build a baseball diamond, but she started with an idea that might have been considered a diamond in the rough when she dreamt up Fun Fridays, a dance class for special needs children in the community. The class is held every Friday from 4:30-5:30 p.m. at the studio on Dexter-Ann Arbor Road, run by Wayne State University alumna Sara Chambors. "We had a few parents come to us and asked if we could put a class together," Sokansanj said. "We were delighted to come up with a structure for the class and offer it for special needs children." …
