This is the only high school in the area so it participates in many of the area towns celebrations. Next week end is the annual New Baltimore Fish-Fly Festival. Since New Baltimore is situated on Anchor Bay a part of lake St. Clair for about three days the end of june to the first of july the town has a burage of fish flies. They don't bite but they are a nonsense. They stick to all the buildings, light posts, cars and anything else outstide. They cover the streets and sidewalks of the whole town. Thank goodness they only live for 24 hours but the clean up is something. Some years the piles are a couple foot high.....yuck! When they hit I will try to post a few photos so you can get a sense of what its like here. Oh yea they smell like old fish too! The birds love this time of year and the fish in the lakes even more.

I will post pictures of the Fish-Fly parade and festivities after the event.

If you have any unusual or funny celebrations in your town let me know I will be glad to post them on my site..

Sunday was the Polar Bear Plunge in Downtown New Baltimore. Some very brave soles toke the plunge into the icy water of Anchor Bay, which is part of Lake St. Clair. This is and event shared by many towns in the United States. This worthwhile event was to benfit the Lions Club. I hope you enjoy the pictures but don't catch a chill!
