2. No matter how you reach the finish line - walk, run, or roll - you pick the pace and the place, anywhere outdoors.

It's all part of the Happy Little 5k where the proceeds go to help support Michigan State Parks.

Registration closes on March 1, so act quickly. The event runs from April 22 through 29.

You'll receive a keepsake happy little t-shirt, a commemorative bib number, and a finisher's medal.

Head to Michigan.gov to register.

3. The Michigan Maritime Museum is looking for volunteers to help sail its 1811 Tall Ship.

The museum's 2023 introductory seamanship training course is on April 22 and 23, and May 20 and 21 in South Haven. You'll need to complete both weekends to be eligible to join the crew as a volunteer.

The vessel, named Friends Good Will, is a replica of a square topsail sloop that was built in Detroit in 1811. The training is free for all museum members.

To register, contact captain Bob Harnish at captain@mimaritime.org.
