Hello Fenton friends! Planning is humming along for this year’s 175th Celebration! We have already held our first event and our second is just two weeks away!

Our biggest event by far will be the “Family Picnic & Concert” in Bush Park on Tuesday, June 30th. This is going to be a really fun night… more details to follow. What I am looking for right now is a few people who are willing/able to help out with the organization of this event. There are several small/medium jobs available. PLEASE email me ASAP if you can help out! Remember, events like this only come along… well… once every 25 years!

Thanks!

FentonSays Pizza Playoffs #05 – Little Dominic’s

FentonSays.com — Wed, 28 May 2008 12:48:39 +0000

There’s a hidden little treasure of a pizza place right here in Fenton, Michigan that goes by the name of Little Dominic’s. Located at 1155 North Leroy Street in Fenton, they have a marvelous and delicious pizza at a very affordable price. Our favorite is their $5.99 large pepperoni pizza special. The crust is crunchy and bubbly, and it comes loaded with cheese and pepperoni. Recently they have started a delivery service as well.

In addition to their tasty pizza, we are big fans of their sandwich rolls. Various fixings are stuffed in to a pizza-like crust, rolled up and cooked to perfection. There is a wide variety of stuffing fixings available, so you’ll have fun finding your favorite.

Little Dominic’s of Fenton is located in the strip mall near the dollar store on the west side of the street across from Fenton Home Furnishings. You know the place. Though you may not have known there was an excellent pizza inside waiting for you to pick-up.

Check out the other Pizza Playoffs in the “Eats of Fenton” video series presented in the Fenton Discussion Forum, or click the Category topic in the right sidebar for other Pizza Playoff entries.

This is the fifth entry into the FentonSays.comPizza Playoffs. Little Dominic’s can be found at 1155 N Leroy Street in Fenton. For $5.99 right now you can get a large pepperoni pizza that is mouth watering good. The crust is excellent and there is plenty of cheese and pepperoni. This is a phenominal deal and one of the best, if not the best, economy pizza in Fenton.

Fenton Book "The Village Players"

admin — Fri, 01 Dec 2006 13:31:00 +0000

This is to announce the publication of “The Village Players” – A narrative history of the Village of Fenton, 1937-1941. The book is 307 pages in length and includes over 60 photos of people and places in the old village of Fenton…near the end of the Depression years and just before the nation was plunged into war on December 7th 1941. The title reflects the words of William Shakespeare that “the world is stage” and we all play many parts. The “players” in the many scenes of village government, business, schools, entertainment and social life are presented in this book. The research for the book was conducted through interviews of several persons who were “players” at the time, a detailed review of all issues of the Fenton Independent and the Fenton Courier , the town’s weekly newspapers, for those years, and the review of books, files and other material reposing in the Fenton Museum.

The book will sell for $15 and will be available at the Lil Professor Book Store, the Fenton Museum and at the offices of Harris Financial Corporation. $5 of the proceeds from each book will go to the Fenton Historical Society to support their operations.

Mail orders will be accepted at Harris Financial Corporation, 1115 N. Leroy Street, Fenton, MI 48430. Mail ordered copies will sell for $15 plus $2 for S/H.

The book will be available by December 15th, 2006 and would make an ideal gift for those interested in the history of Fenton. The author is Robert G. Harris, Fenton High School graduate in the Class of 1941.

When is that bridge on Torrey Road going to get fixed?

I’m just plain tired of it. When is that bridge on Torrey Road going to get fixed? It is difficult enough to get around Fenton were the bridge to be operational already. This bridge has been out way too long. Working or owning a business around that area has to be frustrating. Please fix that bridge and open up Torrey Rd soon so we can get on with things.

Occasionally I can find something on the clearance rack at Wal-Mart. But that’s real spotty. When relatives come to visit from out of state, they’d really like to get something with “Fenton” on it as a souvenir. If you have a computer with an internet connection (and I know you do! you are reading this after all), then point your web browser to:
http://www.cafepress.com/fentonmich.

There you will find a selection of cool souvenir items with Fenton, Michigan prominently featured. Check it out! And let them know that UncleFrog sent you!

Uncle Ray’s Dairyland was mentioned in an announcement for a Relay for Life event recently and we did see people searching for this.

The Fenton Sirens

admin — Fri, 11 Aug 2006 22:22:00 +0000

Did you hear the sirens this morning? Usually they only blare during the testing period on the first Saturday of the month. Today was not that day. So it had me a little concerned. Turns out it was just some “fluke” thing. What the heck are we supposed to do when we hear a siren and there obviously aren’t any weather related issues (wasn’t it a beautiful day today?!)? Anyways, we can all relax now. I know you were on pins and needles.
