Easter

On Easter there is a parade in Douglas and a big Easter egg hunt.

Memorial Day

On Memorial Day there is a parade. Men shoot off guns and a 150 year old canon. Fire and sparks come out of the front. It is way cool. There are marching bands in the parade too.

Fourth of July

On the Forth of July there are really cool fire works. They are the best in the area. Fourth of July is always very fun. We have a big parade too.

Labor Day

Labor Day is great because we are not in school yet. We get an extra long summer because our town is cool. It is the last weekend before school starts.

Halloween

On Halloween there is a big Halloween festival. There is a parade and afterwords there is a play of the Sleepy Hallow Story and there is a headless horse man. There are contests for the best costume and many other things.

Thanksgiving

When the first Pilgrims came here a really long time ago there was a very bad winter and they were starving. So for the very first Thanksgiving there was only 5 corn kernels for each person but they survived. So in Saugatuck to remember that bad winter we start every Thanksgiving with 5 corn kernals just like they did.

Christmas

Christmas is always fun. There are tons and tons of lights all around our town. There is a parade and play with a very funny old man in it. I think his name was Scrooge. He is supposed to be mean but I think he is nice now. I love Christmas.
