What color to paint your home office, what NOT to wear, what chocolate goes with what beer? What fun!

It's the annual Downtown Bay City 'Learn To Do Downtown' on Friday-Saturday, April 17-18, 2009.

From the masters of creativity - Downtown Bay City merchants!

24 businesses are offering a very cool mix of classes and demonstrations during this one-of-a-kind event. "Classes" take place inside each participating business and provide numerous opportunities to enjoy hands-on experiences, to learn something new and to do a little shopping!
