After a deep freeze this past February, I know everyone is excited to finally ‘Get Out & Play.’ Here at Berkley Parks & Recreation we have been working hard to offer great spring and summer programs to warm up those muscles and get you outside to welcome in the sunshine. The winter months have certainly not slowed us down and we continued to offer a full slate of classes and programs throughout the last few months. Most notably, we ran our 5th annual WinterFest on February 7th and this year’s great weather and new additions to the day proved to bring in our highest attendance yet! We estimate we had nearly 1,000 people in attendance over the course of the day and we couldn’t be happier with all the families and people that came to spend the day with us. Congratulations again go out to The Lunch Café for repeating as this year’s winner in the best soup contest! It was a close race this year with only a couple of votes separating first and fourth place. We truly appreciate the time, effort and deliciousness that our local restaurants share with us each year during this competition. We also know that this event would not be possible without the generous support we receive from our local community groups and businesses. WinterFest and the spirit of the day completely embodies the City’s motto, ‘We Care.’ Without the donations of time, financial resources, in-kind gifts and our numerous volunteers, this amazing day would not be possible. Thank you does not seem nearly enough in cases like this, but with our most heartfelt voice, we say THANK YOU to all those that contributed to the success of WinterFest 2015. Below are a list of our sponsors and event volunteers. May you know how grateful we are for your support.

Their dedication to providing our community with a fun-filled and FREE day of activities is truly remarkable. Their creativity to provide new elements year after year brings freshness to the event and provides all families with a great day. As we close out another great winter here in Michigan and at Berkley Parks & Recreation, we welcome the spring sunshine, green grass and our community parks coming back to life.
