If you get cabin fever this season and feel like going for a drive, my antique-hunting friends are raving about Bay City as a great place to treasure hunt in the old-fashioned downtown.
From Nov. 15 through Dec. 20, it's hosting "Sundays in the City," with special holiday activities including:
* Free horsedrawn carriage rides; pick-up is from noon to 3 p.m. in front of the State Theatre, 913 Washington Ave.
* Strolling musicians and carolers perform on the streets from noon to 2 p.m. This year's musical entertainment includes the Tri City Chorus of the Sweet Adelines and other area entertainers.
* Santa Buck: With this special certificate, holiday shoppers will receive $5 off regularly priced items each Sunday at 29 businesses --- up to $145.
* Festival of Wreaths. Downtown visitors can enter to win one of many specially decorated wreaths located at each participating business.
* Sleigh of Gifts: One shopper will win all the gifts donated by participating downtown businesses, valued at more than $2,000. The sleigh will be on display at Herter Music Center, 901 Washington Avenue.
