Lets' not forget the late Joe Freyre, who was a forerunner in getting the Jazz Festival off the ground! Glad to hear Sherm will be there!

Review posted by: Goombieking from lapeer, MI usa, May 24, 2008
I attended the 2007 festival and it was nice. It wasn't a thrill a minute, but there was a nice variety of acts and I like the riverfront park. I'm looking forward to it again this year.

Flint-Genesee CVB's Pick of the Week...
- The Flint-Genesee County Convention & Visitors Bureau suggests the following discount package...
- Michigan Automotive History Starts in Flint:
Thousands visit Michigan yearly to get a glimpse of its mesmerizing Great Lakes. We'll give you another reason - automotive history. Since the early 1900s, the automotive industry has touched millions of families that call Michigan home. We invite you, and your families, to step back in time and discover these incredible automotive stories. At the Sloan Museum and Buick Gallery, witness the birth of General Motors, the UAW and the manufacturing industry that made Flint a leading industrial center. Then travel 30 minutes south of Flint, to Auburn Hills, and enjoy the "ride" at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum where more than 65 antique, custom and concept vehicles celebrate the proud American heritage of an automotive original. Then, somewhere between the fun, tour one of Flint's oldest Victorian Era homes, the Whaley Historical House Museum (optional tickets available).
Discounted, overnight packages are available starting as low as $75 per night, for a family of four, and includes admission to the Sloan/Buick Gallery, the Chrysler Museum and overnight accommodations at a Flint/Genesee County area hotel of your choice. For more information, visit "Overnight Pure FunPaks" or call the Flint-Genesee County Convention & Visitors Bureau at (810) 232-3261 or toll free at 1-877-FLINT-MI.
