Pursuing A Demo Dream
6 years ago Nick Hansen came to work at Super Lube in Newaygo.
And in doing so he found an extended family who helped make a dream come true. At N3 World Headquarters we have been patronizing the facility on M-37 for a lot of years and Nick is a fixture on the crew having learned his job well under the tutelage of Manager Dan Mayle and the rest of the Super Lube crew. Given his lifetime love of cars it has been a perfect fit for Nick. Last month during the Newaygo County Fair... My Wife Loves Turtles - Part Two

Gypsy Moth Forum Coming In October
Responding to a drought driven springtime scourge and likely way too much acquired awareness about frass, the Newaygo County Board of Commissioners will host a little get together at the Grant Fine Arts Center on the topic that was on everyone's lips (and trees) this past spring.

The Return of The 'All Things Irish' Fest...For a Day. An appropriately dresses volunteer agrees to pose at Hackley Hooley
Two years ago the MIMF celebrated the 20th year of providing this convention of captivating Celtic culture.
Then like so many other annual events the pandemic slammed the door in 2020 and with travel restrictions still in place and an uncertainty continuing to loom, organizers knew the time and effort necessary to put this huge event together for this fall could not risk the possibility of a late cancellation. So sponsors stepped up, the sea of volunteers dusted off their badges and a one day version of the much loved original took place blessed by one of those gorgeous late summer Saturdays in this bipeninsular paradise...

SEARCH NEAR NORTH NOWLions Overcome 2nd Half Blues
Packer comeback falls short and Newaygo gets win #1
...while a 28 point lead seems pretty safe the Lion faithful have seen a series of second half letdowns already this young season. And when the Packers put together a scoring drive in their first possession capped by a 28 yard run by a determined Dirheimer there was a bit of angst settling in some spots. An angst that wasn’t helped by a defensive stop and change of possession. Wells came through with an interception and the Lions were on the move again, working the ball inside the Fremont 10 before Dirheimer stripped the ball from Joseph and the Pack were back in business...
