The First Thursday's Gallery Walk's theme this month was "Made in Michigan". Many vendors with Michigan items were showcasing their items and talents.
Henna tattoos, potted herbs, baked goods, artists, Michigan beers and live musicians were among those on hand to show off or sell their goods.
A doggie fashion show took place on Water and Third street. Dogs representing The Barking Club, a professional dog grooming shop located on Water St. sported a large variety of doggie fashions.
The Golden Gallery hosted a beer tasting from Bay City's Tri City Brewing Company also located on Water St. Another beer tasting by Arcadia Brewery was offered at The Ward Gallery located at 904 N. Water St. Arcadia is located in Battle Creek and is the 5th largest brewery in the state. The beer can be purchased at Ideal party store, Kroger, Meijer and Beason's on Euclid.
