The 40th annual Metro Detroit Youth Day was held Thursday after Wednesday’s rain delay.
“Yesterday, we were just so disappointed because we had to postpone it because of the rain,” Michele Simon said.
Wednesday’s showers dumped roughly 4 inches of rain in some areas, but as Detroit and the metro area dry out, thousands of kids and teens are descending on Belle Isle to spend the day. Michele Simon is Ed Deeb’s assistant. Deeb is the founder and president of the Michigan Youth Appreciation Foundation. Together, Simon and Deeb coordinate MDYD each year.
“Kids that are now parents are bringing their kids,” Simon said. “So, that’s how it gets bigger and bigger every year, and everyone seems to look forward to it every year.”
