Third Thursday returns July 21

Next Thursday evening, July 21, come downtown and enjoy July’s Third Thursday event!  

Live music by Grant Reiff and the Riflemen will start at 5pm on the mill porch and continue through 8pm. Crafts and small-business vendors will be set up on Adrian Street along with belly dancer Shannon Seidelman. Hayride pickups will be every 15 minutes or so at the corner of Main and Adrian, and kids can find fun activities in the alley between the Comerica Bank building and Dance With Heart Studios. At 6:30pm come watch Flames N’ Dames Fire Twirlers. The Manchester Diner may be hosting a food challenge, rescheduled from last month. Check their Facebook page for more information.

Don’t forget to shop at local businesses and eat great food at all the local eateries. Additionally, the Manchester Area Historical Society Museum and Blacksmith Shop will be open from 5 to 8pm.

For as little as $1 a month, you can keep Manchester-focused news coverage alive.
