Suggestion Box: Ragtime, Reggae, Recycling, and Rock & Roll

​Still time to grab some tickets to the Thursday night performance at the Dogwood Center starting at 7:30pm. as Bob Milne provides a salute to Ragtime music taking the venerable Steinway out for a spin on the Main Stage.
Mr. Milne has tickled the ivories of the Dogwood’s prized piano before and his show brings the ragtime era to life in a most pleasing manner.

And if you are wondering what the smell issues in the Holton/Brunswick/Fremont area are about and plan on  heading for the olfactory oriented meeting with the EGLE folks it’s at Holton Fire Barn tonight (Tursday) beginning at 7pm and there is likely to be a good crowd on hand so put on your kind and patient hats and ask the questions that need to be asked. 

Friday this week's version of those wonderful park parties in Muskegon will be featuring the Hurricane Reggae Band as the featured music. Hackley Park 5-9pm

Speaking of environmental kind of stuff, do you have concerns about the state of old Mom Earth? Want to help but unsure of where to go or what you can do?

The Newaygo County Environmental Forum will be held at Loomis Lodge this  Saturday (August 17th) from 11:30-3:30pm. Here you will find a boatload of information on ways to help our beleaguered  environment and in particular, how you can help locally with groups aimed at assisting in current efforts while  developing new initiatives.
 Speakers, panel discussion, raffle prizes, and did we mention it is FREE? One of our favorite words.
