Smooth move

With snow accumulation expected in the weather forecast, Canton Summit on the Park is bringing
back the 'Lending Sled Library' through March 31. The lending program offers passersby a chance
to borrow a sled for a spin down a small hill to then return it when they are done; weather permit-
ting. The 'Need a Sled - Use a Sled - Have Fun,' set up is located at the east side of the Summit on
the Park, the Canton recreation center, located at 46000 Summit Parkway, Canton, MI 48188. A
small sledding hill is adjacent that offers a quick little run next to the stand. A sign at the sled stand
points out that sledding hills are completely unsupervised, uninspected, and ungroomed, so those
who use the sledding hills are doing so at their own risk. In addition, children must be supervised at
all times and all sledders must watch out for the safety of others. For more information about the
Summit on the Park Sled Library, visit www.summitonthepark.org or call (734) 394-5460.
