Fri. June 20, to June 22 ,  2008,  open 10:00 am to dusk each day.
"...It will be at  the UUC of Flint behind Kmart on Miller Road.."

I researched that area by internet aerial map, and found the Kmart along the South Ballenger Hwy, and south of Miller Road in Flint, Michigan.            I show the Kmart address to be: G3083 Miller Road A,  Flint, 48507  (don't know why they have a "G" in front of the address)
and  I find a "UUC" as Unitarian Universalist Church, 2474 S. Ballenger Hwy  Flint  810 232 4023
