Melissa Dykman CampaignTrail of Terror 2018 Terrorizes Once Again
By Megan Wirts
“What is this Trail of Terror?”, you may be wondering to yourself. Well, I’ll tell you, it is the hands down best haunted trail that I have ever been to. This is the third year that I have been bestowed the horror, I mean honor, of covering the event for N3. The Trail of Terror has been a staple in Holton for the past 15 years. It is 10 acres of woods filled with up to 70 live monsters, that will scare the socks right off of you, or your hat or your glasses, which I have first hand experience with... Newaygo County’s Forgotten River
This State designation created some online publicity and an uptick in paddlers on this beautiful stretch of the White.

This State designation also brought a well-anticipated challenge. After paddlers have made the trip through this beautiful and feisty stretch or river running between the two White Cloud Parks they want more.

Be Curious: Dinosaur Exhibit
The museum website states "From life-sized and lifelike animatronic dinosaurs- some controlled by visitors – to mechanical and electronic learning stations, the exhibit has something for all ages. Visitors can learn about modern imaging techniques like high-energy neutron beams that reveal the inside of a T. Rex skull in microscopic detail never seen before. The exhibit includes a number of hands-on interactives that explain dinosaur movement, digestion, and evolution, and show the life and methods of dinosaur hunters from the 1800s to today. In addition to large animatronic dinosaurs, interactive highlights include a digital sandbox, paleontologist camp, and an interactive robot that allows visitors to manipulate dinosaur eggs!"
Pigskin Preview: Regular Season Ends, Post Season Looms
Will any teams in our coverage area make it to the dance?
Well, two of them (Newaygo, Holton) have a chance but both face opponents who have been inconsistent enough to be dangerous. Two nearby schools, Silver titleholder Kent City and Morley Stanwood, are already in as is Gold champ Reed City. Big Rapids needs to beat a really good Panther team on the road as they take on 7-1 Alma while Hesperia andWhite Cloud will play games involving four teams with a total of 2 wins between them, both over other teams in the quartet. Grant looks to end on a winning note but Kent City wants to... |
