Five Things You Need to Know: July 19, 2011

Downtown development brainstorming, cricket and free Zumba.

1. Grub Crawl

Canton Chamber of Commerce's annual Grub Crawl is sold out—so expect some crowded restaurants between 6 and 10 p.m. today. The annual fundraiser last year drew more than 500 people who visited more than a dozen restaurants.

2. Zumba Turns 4 (in Canton)

If you aren't going on the Grub Crawl, consider the Anniversary Zumba Party in at 8 p.m. today. Township instructors have been giving Zumba fitness classes for four years now. Tonight's 90-minute dancercize event is free to everyone. Meet at the amphitheater.

3. Register for a Cricket Seminar 

Members of the Michigan Cricket Association will visit  at 7 p.m. Thursday to answer questions about the game. You can earn a Connect Your Summer badge for attending, but registration is required. Cricket is major-league sport in England and India, but Canton has a cricket field, too.
