We are set to visit The Merry-Go-Round Museum on Saturday September 27th. Those who wish to carpool can meet behind the Southgate Library at 9 am. It is approximately a 1 hour and 45 minute drive to the Museum. Their hours on Saturdays are 11am to 4pm. Admission is $10/adults. We visited the museum in 2019 and found it to be small but interesting. There is a working carousel inside that one can ride on. Exhibits of carved carousel animals and other artifacts as well as a gift shop too.
Should be a good photo opportunity. Our October assignment is At the Beach. It is expected that the entries will include water and shoreline. Digital entries are due to Dan Holowicki by end of the day Friday October 3rd.
At last night's meeting we had a short discussion on our September and October assignments.
Our September assignment is 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives'. The expectation is that these images should be of an old style diner, examples would be the one in Trenton near West and Jefferson, inside Henry Ford Museum or the one at the Gilmore in Kalamazoo. Drive-ins would include something like an A&W. Dives would be older eateries, perhaps not in the best condition. Obviously no images of an upscale restaurant. Inside and outside images would be acceptable. All digital entries for September are due to me by end of the day Friday August 29th. Our October assignment is 'A Day at the Beach'. The expectation is that these images must include water and shoreline, whether it be sand, rocks, pebbles, etc. Obviously, structures, people, animals or other items within these confines would be acceptable. Upcoming field trips; A suggestion was made to revisit the Merry-Go-Round Museum in Sandusky Ohio. We last visited the museum pre pandemic. I will check on availability and hours and report back at our next meeting. Another suggestion was made to visit the Michigan Central Train Station. It was also mentioned the best time to visit is on a Sunday morning. More discussion to come. Dave mentioned that Jeff Thomas has not set a date yet for the barrel racing/rodeo style horse photoshoot. 2026 monthly assignments: Suggestions for calendar year 2026 monthly assignments can be sent to me by October 15th. I will then compile a list of suggestions for the club members to vote on by early November. I will not include any topics that we have done in the last 3 years or so. Our September assignment is 'Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives'. Digital entries are due to Dan Holowicki by end of the day Friday August 29th.
At our next meeting we will have a short discussion on what is expected of the September assignment. Also if you have any suggestions for club field trips for the remainder of the year please speak up. If you have any suggestions for assignments for 2026 please send to Dan Holowicki by October 15th. Dan will then compile a list for club members to vote on by early November. Our August assignment is reflections. Digital images are due to Dan Holowicki by end of the day Friday August 1st.

The expectation is that images will include an individual(s) doing some sort of activity relating to a hobby. Images of a completed hobby project alone would not be acceptable.
