 Saline |
One of America's Best Places to Live, Work, and Play… Ask anyone who lives, works, or owns a business in Saline and they're almost sure to tell you some variation of this thought: "We're a friendly, family-oriented town." About 9,400 people live within Saline's city limits. Another 20,000+ live in outlying areas within the Saline Area Schools district, renowned for its excellence. Housing values and household income are well above average for the state and country. With all Saline has to offer, it’s no wonder Bloomberg Businessweek named Saline "The Best Place to Raise Kids" in the State of Michigan for 2013. Saline is just a short drive from the world-class academic, cultural, and sports attractions of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. Downtown Detroit is only an hour away. A must do in Saline for our families is the Community Fair held every summer just before school begins. It covers all the fun, a Parade through the sweet town of Saline, Tractor Pulls, Demolition Derbies, Fair Rides and the Miss Saline Pageant. Must have an elephant ear to make the fair complete!

As August rolls around we begin to hear, is it time for the Chelsea Fair yet. Parade, Tractor Pulls, Demolition Derbies, Fair Rides and of course barns full of Animals for show. An elephant ear is a must! |

Manchester Village is a small, closely-knit community, which provides opportunities for leisure time involvement in organizations, churches, and schools. It provides cultural resources for residents of the adjacent rural townships. The Village is a full service center and not a suburb. Its geographical position has thus far saved it from the pressures of rapid urbanization and encourages self-sufficiency even in recreational pursuits. However, the Village is within driving distance of a variety of cultural events in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti, Adrian, Jackson, and of programs at two universities and several colleges. The sweet Village of Manchester is known for their Chicken Broil, we have enjoyed this event for many years. |

 Pinckney |
Pinckney is located in Putnam Township in southern Livingston County. The area was first settled by William Kirkland who moved from New York with his family, including wife Caroline who gained fame(and a bit of notoriety) with her writings about the area. Kirkland & his brother-in-law formed the William Kirkland Company, which organized the village of Pinckney. Kirkland name the community after his brother, Charles Pinckney Kirkland. In 1883 Pinckey was incorporated as a village. Pinckney is in a fabulous location if you are water lover. We have enjoyed many of the lakes, in and around the Village. “The chain of lakes”, as you would hear many refer to them, lead you to a Village hot spot, Zukey Lake Tavern. Dock your boat & dine! |
