Department. Nobody knows the things they
do for us. One time, when our shuttle buses
had long lines, Paul (Sincock) got the senior
shuttle bus andhelpedmove people.”
Quinn said that there have been a lot of
“learning experiences” during the past
years, including the loin-cloth clad fire jug-
gler who appeared in the park one year,
much to the dismay of artists or the year
there was a huge vehicle fire. One year, the
sprinkler system in the park went off during
the event, liberally spraying artists and their
works.
“I told everybody to grab a garbage can
and turn it upside down over the sprinklers,”
Quinn said. “We got through it without any
serious damage.”
“One year, we had an artist who had a
heart attack right on Main Street,” Quinn
said. “Fortunately, Huron Valley Ambulance
was right there and EMTs treated him. He
actually came back the next year and said he
wanted to rent the same booth location
because it was good luck for him.”
Along with all the less-than-ideal experi-
ences, Quinn said the event has brought her
real satisfaction and fulfillment.
“It's meeting and working with both famil-
iar and new people every year,” she said.
“It's working with the volunteers both those
who have beenwith us for years and the new
people. The artists from across the country.
The police, the Municipal Services people,
just everybody.
“I especially enjoy seeing another genera-
tion coming on board. We have volunteers
with teenage children who are helping now
as volunteers,” she said. Quinn's, grandson,
Dylan Rork, 11, will be one of the youngest
volunteers at the show this year.
Quinn said she feels 'special” for having
had the opportunity to work with her daugh-
ter, the volunteers, the artists and city offi-
cials andwatch the event growand evolve.
“It's different every year. We make
changes and the business footprint of the city
changes. Newplaces open.
“I could never have foreseen what it
would become. I truly do feel special to have
been able to be a part of it.”
Quinn said she is excited about her retire-
ment and looking forward to starting other
things. “I'm going to be able to play more
Scrabble onmy iPad, stay in bed a little later
in the morning and spend more time with
my grandchildren.
“I'mlooking forward to it.”
Art in the Park will take place July 11, 12
and 13 this year and feature more than 400
artists, live entertainment and children's
events.
parade route begins at the corner of
Griswold and Main Street and continues
down Main to Rogers to Cady to Wing to

As always, the annual children's bike
parade is expected to be a highlight as is
the pet parade.
The main sponsor of the Northville

has sponsored the event for more than a
decade and each year enters a crowdpleas-
ing float or two.

appear in a pre-game performance at
Comerica Park beginning at 7:08 p.m. just
prior to the Tigers taking on the TampaBay
Rays.
The performance will take place in front

ebration, they will march around the field
inside Comerica Park while performing

colonial uniforms.
