Port Huron is preparing to launch Boat Week with a crowd-favorite event downtown. The Rotary Club will host its annual International Day Parade on July 15, stepping off at 6:30 p.m. from Huron and Glenwood avenues. This year’s theme, “Happy Birthday U.S.A.,” honors the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Parade organizers say the route will be slightly shorter than past years, ending at Court Street. Community members and local groups can still register to participate or become sponsors online, with updates shared through the Port Huron Rotary’s website and social media pages.

Students in the Port Huron area are taking aim this spring as part of Michigan’s High School Clay Target League, with local teams from Port Huron Northern, St. Clair, Algonac, Marine City, Memphis, and Yale joining more than 2,400 athletes statewide in a nine-week season. The competition runs through May 24th, and many area shooters are expected to move on to the state tournament in June, with a chance to qualify for a national championship in July. The sport gives students an affordable way to build confidence, teamwork, and shooting skills.

United Way of St. Clair County is preparing for a major change in Port Huron, selling its longtime Military Street building and moving this summer to a smaller shared space on Lapeer Road in Port Huron Township. Leaders say the move will cut costs and improve access, with bus service and closer ties to partner agencies. At the same time, the group is shifting focus to emergency help, providing direct support for residents facing shutoffs, housing issues, and disasters as more local families struggle to make ends meet.
