Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Thursday, November 18, 2010 at 11:54AM | Becks Davis As we approach the holiday season, there are dozens of magical events going on in the Detroit area over the next month or so. Thanksgiving is a week away and, like it or not, it’s time to don our gay apparel and join in the festivities.
The holidays can be a stressful time for many so take time out and enjoy yourself!

SD,
Spendy is way to expensive for my wallet! The cheapest ticket is $350. It's a benefit for The Parade Company.
