This and That: Signs, Parades, Fireworks, Tunes, Art & Santa

Hmmm.

Lots of pre Holiday doings on tap

Ok, so when the Board of Public Works decided to move recycling in White Cloud to alleviate the ongoing problem of unwanted and illegal dumping of non recyclables. (Really? You think a toilet or a chair or paint cans are recyclable? Sheesh) they wanted some signage so they sent off an order for a brand spanking new one.
Uh oh. Apparently sign folks don’t have access to spellcheck because the sign came back spelled Recyclying. BPW Chair Dale Twing has sent the sign back with detailed instructions as to the correct spelling.
And he didn’t need spellcheck.

Things at the North Pole apparently haven’t heated up to the point of needing the boss around so Santa is making an early appearance at Havemens Hometown  Pharmacy in Newaygo from 1-3pm Saturday.
Rumors surrounding the possible appearance of HHP front liner Melissa Bergsma as Mrs. Claus have not been substantiated. 

No, not over Hess Lake but yes, Friday night in Sparta

Who doesn’t love a parade? And how about fireworks? There’s a lotta love out there for fireworks given the incredible half-life  on fb when it comes to comments on our local ‘works store.
Well, in Sparta Friday night you can get both with a parade beginning at 545pm and fireworks starting at 7pm.
Check out the Sparta Today site for more info.

Saturday’s Drop-In Art at the NCCA Artsplace features feather design from 11am-noon details at

Got Music? We do.
Friday brings the Denise Anderson Connection to the RiverStop Saloon starting at 830pm.
New Brew Co Acoustic Lunch series features  Coty Bouchard Saturday Noon-4pm.
Saturday night at the 7 Mile Inn fans of Backwoods Express can get their fill Saturday starting at 9pm. 
 
And next Wednesday, incidentally one of the biggest bar days of the year (go figure, day before a family holiday). If you’ve got someone heading home for a visit who would like to reconnect with friends and maybe explore the possibility of relocating back here in this vibrant and versatile slice of bi-peninsular living have them pre register (free drink ticket) for the doings put on by The Right Place at Lakes 23 or even just show up.
 Details?
