A Day at the Dairy: Ann Arbor's Washtenaw Dairy

"A Day At The Dairy brings viewers though the spectrum of a full day at Washtenaw Dairy in the summer of 2024 — opening with coffee and donuts before sunrise until the final ice cream is served after sunset. Since its founding in 1934 as an outlet for dairy farmers to sell their milk, through expanding with ice cream and a donut enterprise reaching all over town, "The Dairy" has provided commodities and served as a community hub in Ann Arbor for 90 years. Owner and President Mary Jean Raab recounts its history alongside a cross section of a day's customers who share what's kept them coming back for a tasty treat, time and time again." - Filmmakers Donald Harrison & Isabel Ratner

A visit to a local dairy where milk is bottled and ice cream is made is one of the many suggestions for family outings included in the guidebook, "Things To Do and See in the Ann Arbor Area," recently released by the Ann Arbor Cooperative Nursery. Wasting no time in taking up the suggestion are (from left) David Ronci, Aine Maripuu, Randy Higgins and Danny Chase with their mothers (from left) Mrs. Milton Chase, Mrs. William Ronci, Mrs. Loit Maripuu and Mrs. Frank Higgins. The non-profit nursery has placed the 90-page booklet on sale at local book, toy and grocery stores. It lists zoos, industrial tours, sight-seeing trips, concerts, and plays suitable for family groups in the Ann Arbor-Detroit area. Some 200 activities are suggested in the booklet.
