From Sept. 12-15, community members can enjoy a wide variety of familyfriendly events and entertainment during 2024 Troy Family Daze. The event is hosted annually by the Troy Community Foundation and has been going on in Troy since 1968, and 2024 is their 54th year. Proceeds from the festival go toward spring and fall TCF community grants. Last year, TCF was able to provide a $100,000 check to the city for the new performing arts stage at the Jeanne M.

Some the nonprofits that attendees can expect this year include the Stage Nature Center, 100 Women Who Care, Troy Youth Assis-
