This Weekend in Mason, Michigan - Hometown USA

This weekend, many Mason area residents will be with their families celebrating Easter. Don't forget that many of our local stores are open this weekend for those last-minute items to make your holiday complete. My family and I will be attending both a family brunch and dinner on Sunday. With a bit of traveling involved, I'm making sure that our food contributions are purchased right here in Mason and prepared in advance -- before I travel to Lansing and Ann Arbor.

This weekend also brings thoughts of springtime and outdoor projects. Kerr Hardware at 222 S. Cedar in Mason (676-5040) is a full-service hardware store that strives to provide the best in customer service. Stop in or call the store to purchase products for that special project. If they do not stock the item, one of their friendly employees will be happy to special order the item for you.

This Weekend in Mason, Michigan - Hometown USA

The Mason Cabin Fever Craft Show is Saturday, April 8th from 9:00 to 5:00 and on Sunday, April 9 from 10:00 to 4:00 at the Main Arena Building of the Ingham County Fairgrounds at 700 E. Ash Street in Mason. This a privately produced show with 100 crafters under one roof and with no admission or parking fees. The building is handicapped accessible. To get to the Fairgrounds from US 127, get off at the Kipp Road exit and follow the fairgrounds signs.

After the craft show, leave the Fairgrounds from the north side on Temple and turn left on Ash. Proceed through the downtown and out to Cedar Street. Turn right on Cedar and follow it for a while around to stop at Mason's A&W Restaurant on the right. Not only will you be really close to the Cedar street entrance onto US 127, but Manager Jeff Haeuter says that they now have foot-long hot dogs available for sale at the A&W. There's nothing like a frosty mug of root beer and a classic foot-long before you head home!
