The First Time Home Buyer's Tax Credit was due to expire on November 30th, but has been extended and expanded.
In an effort to stimulate housing sales, President Obama signed a law that extends through spring of 2010 - the existing Up-to $8,000 First Time Home Buyer's tax credit and also expands a new tax credit for up to $6,500 for repeat home buyers.

Manistee Victorian Sleighbell Parade & Old Christmas Weekend
December 3rd – 6th
Parade Saturday 5:30 p.m.
Don't miss an awesome opportunity to attend the Manistee Victorian Sleighbell Parade and Old Christmas Weekend
The City of Manistee comes alive as a magical Christmas Wonderland. You'll have a unique opportunity to take a step back in time and enjoy an entire weekend filled with excitement. Chestnuts roasting on open fires on the street corners (it's always nice to grab a few to put in your pocket - just to keep your hands warm!). The sounds of sleigh bells echo the streets. Draft horses pulling sleighs filled with folks enjoying the festivities. Snow gently falling from the sky. Children waiting patiently for Santa to make his appearance in the parade, along with the 70+ ft decorated Christmas tree that will grace the streets through the Chistmas season.
Festivities include a special Christmas production at the historic Ramsdell Theatre, Festival of Trees, Gingerbread House contest, concerts, museum and art exhibits, and much more.
