We are gearing up to celebrate the end of winter with fun, free, entertainment-filled “Family Spring Fling” events at seven of our showrooms from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on three consecutive Saturdays in March and April. Kids (and kids at heart) can hold and pet ducks, chickens, sheep, goats, and rabbits inside the stores at the Gardner White corral as well as meet costumed superheroes, fairy tale characters, and storybook friends. They will also be able to make their own stuffed animals*, enjoy face painting and balloon twisters, and snack on assorted sweets and treats.
*Please note, the Saginaw Spring Fling event will not have the make-a-bear experience.
“We’re creating our own sunshine and ushering in springtime for families, especially households like mine with young kids who are going stir crazy after spending so much time indoors,” said Rachel Stewart, president of Gardner White. “Our team has a blast planning fun in-store events for parents and grandparents to make lasting memories with their children and grandchildren.”
The Family Spring Fling events will be held on March 25th in Ann Arbor and Shelby Township; on April 1st in Howell and Rochester Hills; and on April 8th in Auburn Hills, Novi, and Saginaw.
