ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Between wild storms and heatwaves, it has been a wild summer.
To see what our readers have been up to we challenged them to show us what summer fun meant this year.
We’ve had fun combing through all of the awesome photos of different scenes from around Ann Arbor and Michigan. Thank you to all who entered.
Out of all of the entries we’ve somehow managed to pick our favorites.
The winners will be featured in Meredith’s newsletter this Tuesday and on CTN.
