On this episode of Community Capital, Rick Bowden of the Pinckney Putnam Hamburg Hell Chamber sits down with Rob Smiley, co-owner of BJ's Heating and Cooling, to talk about Art in the Park and why this festival has been a community staple for 34 years. BJ's is the presenting sponsor again this year, and the 2026 event is shaping up to be the biggest yet, with over 100 juried artists and more food trucks than ever before.
Art in the Park runs May 30th and 31st, 10am to 5pm, in Putnam Township Square in downtown Pinckney.
