GLEN ARBOR — If you’re looking for a classic summer vacation in Michigan — the kind where water, woods and whatever are available at your will on any given day — look no further than Glen Arbor on the Leelanau Peninsula. While this town of about 700 year-round residents swells in the summer, Glen Arbor still manages to invite relaxation. No wonder. Glen Arbor is surrounded by the woods and hills of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and lies on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan — so there’s ample opportunity for beach time, hiking and biking, and kaying and stand up paddle boarding. And much, much more. Wander along M-22 through Glen Arbor and you’ll

The SCS Citywide Garage Sale is back with registration beginning the week of July 7. The event has been hosted by the Cool City Committee for the last three years. John Cilluffo, member of the committee, said the sale is the third weekend in August which is Aug. 15 and Aug. 16. Last year, Cilluffo said around 1,100 residents signed up which is an increase from its first year which garnered around 800 residents. Cilluffo said residents must comply with city rules and stipulations regarding garage sales. “No signs in the public right of way,” Cilluffo said. “For the Citywide Garage Sale we ask that you’re at least open for two days, Saturday and Sunday.” He went on to say it’s optional for residents to be open on Fridays considering work schedules and other deciding factors. This year, the committee plans to highlight addresses on their spreadsheet that are open the whole three-day weekend. When the garage sale occurs, the spreadsheet and other tools can be found on the Cool City Committee website at scscoolcity.com. Registration can also be found at this site. For those who don’t have a computer or cannot access it electronically, hard copy applications can be found at the Parks
