The streets of downtown Wyandotte sizzled Friday night as Mayor Peterson's 3rd Annual Barbeque Ribs Throwdown heated up the monthly Third Friday celebration. The ribs competition was held at Sycamore and Biddle, where visitors had a chance to eat some barbeque, hear live music, have a few drinks and enjoy the perfect weather. Third Friday revelers filled all of downtown, checking out booths set up by businesses and organizations, visiting shops and taking free trolley and carriage rides.

Wyandotte Patch announces the first winner in our 'Patch the Town' contest.
Congratulations to Courtney Ruddock for winning Wyandotte Patch's first "Patch the Town" contest. She will receive a $100 gift card to use at Wyandotte businesses of her choice. In her entry, Ruddock said she'd spend the money on "Fried Pickles and IPA at Sports (Brew Pub) of course!!!" We're thinking she'll have a few bucks left over, so we asked her where the rest might be spent. "(A) possible bike ride pub crawl in the near future for me and a couple friends," she said. "And maybe (a) pedicure at one of the local salons. I've been wanting to try the new salon that just opened on Biddle recently (3152 Studio). I'm so excited!" Ruddock will document her night out with photos and a short story, which will be posted on our site in the …

The critters are believed to be only a couple days old. A wildlife rehabilitator will now care for them.
Tracey Blessing was sitting in her backyard in the 1700 block of Superior on Thursday afternoon when she spotted several tiny fuzzballs. She looked and discovered it was a line of little ducklings. “At first, I said: “Aww. What cute ducklings’ like it’s normal,” she said. “But then I said, ‘That’s not right’ and started looking around.” After calling the city’s animal control officer, Blessing said, she discovered that another resident also had called about the ducklings. They had been put in a cage after their mom never returned for them. But somehow, the critters escaped the cage and were on the loose. After catching the first one, Blessing said, she got some of her neighbors involved, who checked their yards and the nearby alleyway. …

Fine Things is gearing up to be "mobbed" Wednesday and is offering extra incentives to get people into their store. The women's and home accessory shop won an online vote and will be the site of Wyandotte Patch's first cash mob. Similar to a flash mob, a cash mob involves a lot of people assembling at once. But they assemble with the almighty dollar in hand. For a couple hours on a particular day, we'll converge on a Wyandotte shop with our wallets open. From 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, there will be games, prizes and fun for all who stop by. You could win a $20 gift certificate just for coming out.
