To say our 2nd Annual Hanging with Heroes event was a success would be an understatement! There was something so special about bringing our community together at the beautiful Plymouth Fire Station in downtown Plymouth. The weather may have looked a little unpredictable with major storm clouds rolling in and a doppler stating the rain was coming at the start of our event. But with perfect timing and a lot of ‘please don’t rain, please don’t rain’ it waited until the end of the our event to downpour. Thank you Mother Nature! We welcomed over 100 families to enjoy firetrucks, cupcakes, superheroes and some pretty amazing local firemen, policemen and paramedics!!!
The Venue :: Northville City Fire Department – Station #2 (AKA Plymouth Fire Station)
If you haven’t guessed it by now we love this Northville City Fire Department! Everything from the building to the amazing staff. They’re truly one of a kind! From the beginning they have welcomed DMB and the community with open arms. If your child ever wants to check out a fire truck out or talk to a real life hero stop in. They would love the chance to hang out with you!
The Food :: Frosting – Cakes & Cookies
Michelle, the owner of Frosting – Cakes & Cookies makes the most incredible sweet treats. This lovely lady takes pride in every cupcake, cookie and cake she makes. We are SO thankful for her and her talents when it came to our superhero cupcakes. She even created each of the toppers that sat on the cupcakes. What would a Hanging with Heroes event be without Superhero Cupcakes?! They were de-lish-ous! Don’t forget to check out her FB page and book with her for your upcoming special occasion. We promise, you won’t be disappointed!
The Superheroes :: Fairytale Entertainment
I think we can all agree that Bat-Hero and Spider-Hero stole the show (besides hanging with our local heroes)! Fairytale Entertainment never ceases to amazes us with their characters and facepainters. Can they seriously get any better? These heroes did everything from hang from the firetrucks to posing with everyone and anyone during our event. They held babies, hugged moms and showed the kids some their special superhero tricks. If you’re looking for the perfect addition to a birthday party don’t hesitate to call them. They are worth every penny for the unforgettable birthday party they’ll provide.
Our Sponsors :: Goldfish Swim School and Essential Family Chiropractics
Without our incredible sponsors these events would be possible. We love supporting local businesses within the community.
Goldfish Swim School is one of our absolute favorite local small businesses. They offer classes from 4 months to 12 years old in a safe and fun environment. Anyone who’s stepped into any Goldfish Swim School can agree their vibrant colors and welcoming staff are above all others. While at our Hanging with Heroes they shared ways on staying safe while swimming and inviting everyone to check them out. You may have picked up a free pass (or two) and a goldfish tattoo to go.
Essential Family Chiropractics is another favorite of ours. Dr. Alyssa was on site checking spines for proper alignment. Even Bat-Hero received a check up to make sure he’s saving the world to his fullest potential. Located in downtown Farmington Essential Family Chiropractics has your best interest and truly cares about you + your family. They educate you on the importance of chiropractics and why our bodies need to be properly aligned in order to live healthy lives. Check them out to learn more and if you didn’t get your spine checked – give them a call. They’d love to hear from you!
The Real Heroes
We are constantly amazed my the generosity and love displayed by the Northville City Fire Department along with the Police and Paramedics. I think they enjoy this event as much as we do! You can tell that they are extremely passionate about bringing the community into their fire station and making sure all families feel comfortable with them. They go out of their way to make sure each child feels special. We are SO thankful to have the opportunity to feature our local heroes and everything they do to keep our communities safe. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for their service!!!
A HUGE shoutout to the amazing and uber talented Jodi from Wildflowers Photography! She did a phenomenal job capturing the carefree and fun feel of the event. She caught people in their most natural moments while sharing in their excitement. If you need a photographer for any life occasion we highly recommend her. We may be some of her biggest fans!
And without our ah-mazing DMB staff this event in no way would be possible. These women pour their hearts and souls into making sure every families feels part of our community. They truly love our city and everything it entails. From planning this event to caring out every last details these women rocked it. Shouting from the rooftops – THANK YOU ladies!
