For those of you with grandchildren, or young children, or are just young at heart....

• In between will be K-9 police dog demonstrations, fire department drills, pumpkin crafts, kids games and heavy equipment to explore and ride in.

Or are just hungry.....

• Of course, there will be plenty of food - hot dogs, popcorn, tacos, candy, doughnuts, cider and more.

•  And it's all free.

This event is for everyone, not just Bloomfield Township residents.

• Last year's open house drew thousands of visitors. Come and see what the Township has and how it all works.

FREE....FREE....FREE..... Really?

• And it's all free.   So they say. 

Read my blog from Oct. 16,  2011 on this event being "free".  "Free" can be expensive.
