Five Steps to a Great Mother’s Day

OKEMOS, Mich. – Make the most out of this Mother’s Day with a day dedicated to mom. Gifts are always appreciated but why not give your mom something special, like a whole day dedicated to her! With our five steps to a great Mother’s Day, you can give your mother a day she will never forget. Take a look at how to make your mother smile from the moment she wakes up to the evening hours.

Breakfast in Bed
Start mom’s day out right with a delicious breakfast of her favorite foods, fruits, and drinks. Make it a surprise with a serving tray and the morning paper. She will love waking up to something special. A flower for decoration is also a nice touch to get your mom smiling first thing in the morning.

Quiet Time
We know mom is used to the commotion around the house. Why not give her a morning to her self? An hour or two of quiet time may be just what she needs. Whether it is to catch up on a nice book, take a relaxing bath, or even get a few extra hours of sleep, we know mom will enjoy the piece and quiet.

Help Around The House
Somehow moms can do it all! From work, to cooking for the family, and even cleaning up at the end of the day, mom is a superstar. Show your mom how much you appreciate her by being the one to clean the house and keep it clean! This may just be the perfect gift.

An Afternoon For Her
Our moms always seem to put everyone else first. But how often do we put mom first? Make her day special by spending the afternoon doing what she loves. Spend the day outside with her gardening, take her to that movie she always wanted to see, or spend the day shopping at her favorite stores! Maybe you will find a quick gift to give her that extra “thank you”. No matter what your mom loves, she will love it even more when she spends the afternoon doing it with you.

Take Her Out To Dinner
Want mom to feel extra special on Mother’s Day? Take her out on the town! Spend the evening out for a nice dinner where she doesn’t have to cook or clean up any mess. Make it spontaneous and take her somewhere she has never been, or take her to her favorite restaurant that you know she will love.

No matter what you do this Mother’s Day, you can make your mom feel like a rock star with these five steps to a great Mother’s Day. Show her how much you appreciate all she does with breakfast, time for herself, and doing the little things. Want another way to show mom you care? Bring to her Graff Chevrolet Okemos where she can test drive an all-new 2016 Chevrolet Cruze.

Chevrolet Camaro RS & Colorado Found Their Home at Comerica Park

OKEMOS, Mich. – Spring is in the air and that means baseball season is just around the corner! In the city of Detroit, baseball fans everywhere anticipate Chevrolet's tradition that signifies the beginning of Detroit Tigers baseball with the display setup at the Chevrolet Fountain. On March 30th, the Chevrolet Camaro RS & Colorado found their home at Comerica Park.

For the 2016 baseball season Chevrolet has put on display a hyper blue metallic Camaro RS and an inferno orange metallic Colorado. Chevrolet hopes to inspire fans as well as athletes with their “power and performance” themed display. Putting the vehicles on top of the Chevrolet Fountain is a three-hour process as both vehicles are raised by crane and securely exhibited.

Before Chevrolet, the fountain was called the General Motors Fountain from the years 2000-2008. During 2009 General Motors cut back on advertising and the Detroit Tigers displayed other automaker logos including Chrysler and Ford Motor Co. The Chevrolet Fountain has been displaying Chevrolet vehicles since 2012. Chevrolet has sponsored the fountain since 2010. Previous vehicle display models include Silverado, Equinox, Impala, Malibu, and Corvette.

The Chevrolet Fountain projects a tiger growl with each Detroit home run and features various water displays. In 2015 Chevrolet showcased their vehicles to almost 3 million fans. The tradition has carried on strong this year as the Chevrolet Camaro RS & Colorado have found their home at Comerica Park on top of the Chevrolet Fountain.

We're ready for opening day and will enjoy seeing the Chevrolet fountain in its glory all throughout this season! We know these beautiful Chevrolet vehicles are out of reach, but you can stop by Graff Chevrolet Okemos to see the new 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and 2016 Chevrolet Camaro up-close. The Colorado pick up truck delivers a smooth and refined drive while giving you the utility that you need.
