Autumn is well underway, and with the cold weather approaching we thought it’d be fun to look back at some of our favorite events from this summer! The warm weather means lots of exciting outdoor events happening around the Livingston County community and beyond.
What better way is there to really kick off the season than the Hartland Polo classic! Brighton Ford has had the opportunity to participate in this entertaining event put on by the Hartland Area Chamber of Commerce for the last few years, and this year was no different. Our marketing interns got the chance to enjoy the polo match as well as help the kiddos build their own hats for family day. Another annual favorite is Drive to Survive, put on by Fund A Life! There was food, a silent auction, timed autocross action, and even live music at this incredible event that raises money for families going through life altering situations.
A summer staple in Livingston County are all of the incredible festivals, parades, and free community events. We love setting up a tent, bringing some awesome vehicles for people to check out, raffling something off, and passing out anything from snacks to swag! Some of the incredible festivals and events that we got to hang out at this summer include the Greater Brighton Area Chamber’s Yellowstone Country Music Festival, The Michigan Challenge Balloonfest, A Taste of Brighton, Touch a Truck, and so many more! And we can’t forget the 4th of July Parade. We had so much fun with the Michigan Bronco Club and 102.9 W4 Country joining us!
One thing that we always love here at Brighton Ford is giveaways (I mean who doesn’t love a giveaway)! An annual event that we love to be a part of is 93 Days of Summer, hosted by our friends at 93.5 WHMI. The Grand Prize winner walked away with $3,000 from Brighton Ford! On top of that, this year we also did a six part Summer Contest Series where we collaborated with local businesses to give away a ton of awesome prizes. The winners ended up with cool prizes from The Ceramic Studio etc, Tribute Salon and Spa, Brighton Dairy Queen, One Salon and Spa, The Pound, and Brighton Bar and Grill!
We are so thankful for our wonderful community, and all of the time and effort that goes into making sure amazing events like these ones are able to happen!
