If you're expecting a baby or are a new parent, the Tummy to Toddler Expo is the place to go this weekend. The event will be held from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2, at Ultimate Soccer Arena in Pontiac.
It's a full five hours of information and fun, organized by Macomb Township-based BFF Productions.
More than 100 vendors will be there, and showgoers can collect information on everything from nutrition to child behavior to helpful products and services. Coupons and samples will be handed out.

Kids will be amused with a play station and bounce houses, a show by Giggles the Clown, as well as visits from SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, Spider-Man and Elmo. Parents can take advantage of free childcare as they browse the show, and there will be nursing and changing stations available, too.
