Port Huron’s McMorran Place is bringing back glamour with a black-tie gala to restore the city’s iconic Night & Day Fountain. The Night & Day Ball is set for March 19th at the McMorran Theater, aiming to raise funds for professional restoration of the landmark sculpture by Marshall M. Fredericks. The fountain has long been a local gathering spot and a symbol of Port Huron’s cultural heritage. Guests can enjoy an elegant evening of food, drinks, and entertainment, with all proceeds supporting the restoration. Tickets and sponsorships will be available early next year.

With federal food aid halted by the government shutdown, Port Huron stepped up to make sure no family went hungry. The city partnered with local donors, nonprofits, and the YMCA to distribute five truckloads of food Monday morning at the YMCA on Third Street. Each load fed up to 500 families. Mid-City Nutrition also served 5,000 free hot meals to help seniors, children, and families in need. City leaders said it was a true community effort to care for neighbors during tough times.
