The fourth annual Marshmallow Drop and Family Resource Fair goes down this weekend in District 3 and halal marshmallows will rain from the sky.

A helicopter will fly over the Heilmann Recreation Center and drop the marshmallows, in which participants can gather them (or just eat them) for a stuffed backpack filled with goodies.

Other festivities include free meals (including halal goat), live music, a DJ, horse, pony and train rides, a video game truck, bounce platforms and more.

Halal is a practice of preparing food with animal products — including marshmallows, made from eggs — according to Muslim law.

The event is Saturday, June 9, from noon to 3 p.m. For more information, contact Terry Catchings at (313) 530-0587.
