Linden, a.k.a. Cool City, prepares for Gus Macker Basketball festival 

Linden is a designated “Cool City,” which makes it a perfect fit for Gus Macker 3-on-3 Basketball. 

Linden, a.k.a. Cool City, is excited to present Gus Macker and the family festival of fun it embodies. The Fenton Regional Chamber of Commerce will present the event and help the Linden Schools Athletic and Booster organizations raise funds to support their initiatives as well as help promote economic growth in this great “cool” city.

The action will take place at Hyatt Elementary School, 325 Stan Eaton Drive. The cafeteria will host registration, and a food court will be set up in the school’s main courtyard. Places to eat and use of the restrooms will be available indoors, too.

The courts will be in the school parking lot, and the baseball fields that surround the school will serve as convenient parking as well as places to stretch out and relax between games. Consider it a day camp of sorts.

As for the hoops, a Slam Dunk Contest and 3-point Shootout are being planned among other great things like special event contests, a Kids Zone with bounce houses, face painting and more. 

Be sure to thank the volunteers from the Linden community and let the quaintness of Linden and the family festival of fun capture your heart. This is the second Linden Macker and plans call for the event to develop and include festive activities on the river and in the downtown.

It’s going to be “cool” family fun in Linden’s Cool City. Gus can’t wait!
