Detroit Moxie's Weekend Roundup
Thursday, July 7, 2011 at 12:15PM | Becks Davis 
Before I tell you about all the fabulous events happening in and around Detroit this weekend I need to announce the winner of the pair of tickets to Drink Michigan's A Sip of Michigan event.
Congrats to Brianna (@reillybr)! She was lucky entry #22 and this is what she had to say about her favorite Michigan-based drinks, "I love Leelanau Cellars Winter White or Witches Brew. Yum! Also, Milkshake Stout from Rochester Mills."
Enjoy the party Brianna!

2. Festival Epicure - You'll have to cross the border to attend this festival of food, wine and music in Windsor. Just think of it as South Detroit. Don't forget you'll need an enhanced drivers license or passport. July 8—10.
