This weekend is Memorial Day which is the unofficial start of summer. Local pools open, school is starting to wind down, and temperatures are finally getting warmer.
Arbor Annie’s Weekend Picks
The weekend kicks off with the opening of local pools, water parks, and spray grounds. Unfortunately the weather forecast is not great for swimming. There is a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday afternoon and cooler temperatures (low 70s) on Monday.

It is also the start of the Summer Fair Schedule with the Sumpter Country Fest in Belleville – followed by the Milan Fair starting in the middle of next week. My daughter love rides, so we’ll probably visit a couple of fairs. (Note I am still updating the list and it should be completed by noon Friday).
Be sure to check out our Memorial Day article for parades, memorial ceremonies, and closures on Monday.

Garage Sales
We’re trying our garage sale list on Facebook again. We don’t have any listings at the time of this article, but if you are having one be sure to add yours. And check back in case some get added. Next week we’ll try adding the garage sale list to Facebook earlier in the week.
Movies
New this weekend is Aladdin. It would be my movie pick of the weekend, but we are going to see Pokemon Detective Pikachu with friends.
If you haven’t seen Avengers Endgame, it now includes a post-credit scene that is basically a trailer for Spider-Man Far From Home.
Captain Marvel is still playing at Quality 16 with limited showings. Be sure to check out our Captain Marvel review and parental guidance suggestions. And look for it on digital on Tuesday and home video in June.
