Over 200 babes took the streets Thursday, October 3 for the second annual Babes on Broadway. Twenty different downtown businesses participated in the event offering goodies to registered participants. All proceeds–around $2,000– go to Haven, a nonprofit organization in Pontiac for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse.
