Practicing social distancing is key to preventing the spread of the coronavirus, which is why Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has issued a stay-in-place order for the state of Michigan through at least through mid-June.
Families all over the Mitten will be confined for weeks — but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some fun at home! Plenty of places are offering virtual events and activities. Here are some ideas for things to do at home this weekend.
