All ages are invited and there will be food trucks, a cash bar, and hands-on art-making activities.

3. If you're looking to furnish your house or apartment, get discounts at the Steelcase Remarket Friends and Family Sale on July 16 from 8 a.m. to noon in Kentwood.

Some great items available this year will be from brands like AMQ, West Elm, and Plenty of Steelcase task seating and adjustable desks.

4. Here's an easy way to support Ronald McDonald House Charities.

All McDonald's restaurants in Michigan are now offering white bucket hats with a red and yellow stripe for just $10. The money will go directly to the houses in Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Lansing.

These homes help families with ill or injured children stay together and provide transportation, home-cooked meals, private bedrooms, and fully equipped kitchens and laundry facilities near the medical care they need.
