The Coming Week: Lake Health, Splash Pads, & Zydeco On Tap

Three things you don’t want to miss and none cost money. 
 
Making a Splash?
How cool would a local splash pad be? 
That’s right, very very cool.
The staff at N3 World Headquarters often stop at the Clam Lake Brewery in Cadillac and park in back where a frequently used splash pad is awash (pun intended) with kids while the parents sit on the edges watching the fun and having conversations with other parents between the usual interruptions for questions or toweling off. It looks relaxing and fun and there are few of the usual fears sometimes associated when it comes to  little kids and water.
We’re reminded of a line from the movie Field of Dreams, because when it comes to a splash pad?
Build it and they will come.
Wednesday, March 23rd at 6:30 pm in the community room at the Fremont Area District Library a guest speaker will talk about how Grand Haven worked at getting the splash pad in their community.
