11/28/12 - The Fowlerville Business Association and the Fowlerville Rotary will host the annual Christmas in the Ville festival this weekend. The event will include a number of attractions around the village, including the Dashing Through The Snow 5k, a pet parade in the community park, and hayrides through downtown. Children will be able to enjoy a scavenger hunt, Santaâs Workshop, cookie decorating, a live reindeer display, and a balloon sculptor producing Santaâs sleigh and reindeer. The centerpiece of the festival will be the parade through downtown Fowlerville. The biggest attraction every year is the hot air balloon pilot float, which organizers hope will contain 30 balloon baskets this year. As the float goes past the crowds the pilots turn on their burners, shooting 15-foot flames into the air and warming the spectators. MacDermaid says the balloonists approached the village with the idea back in 2009 and aim to have the biggest float in the parade every year. Balloon launches will also take place at certain times Saturday, weather permitting.
