This Weekend

Rosali at the Black Box
Nothing helps diminish the winter blues like an evening in the cozy confines of the Black Box.The club-like atmosphere is an ideal place to settle in with perhaps an adult beverage or two and listen to the latest musical offerings served up by the Dogwood folks.
Saturday at 7:30pm Rosali, an accomplished Philadelphia based singer/songwriter who hails from the wonderfulness that is Newaygo County will be sharing her musical talents and we at N3 World Headquarters are looking forward to what is shaping up to be a compelling evening of music. Here’s a little more info.

No Soup For You?
Only if you don’t go.
Have you been to Amore Trattoria Italiana the exceptional eatery located on the east side of Alpine just before the congestion that is Alpine Avenue really kicks in?
If so you are aware of the delectable items that burst from their kitchen and have wondered perhaps as many of us have, “how do they make that wonderful soup?”
Well Saturday beginning at 2pm they will be holding a free cooking demo featuring, of course, soup.
The bar opens at 1:30pm in case you like wine with your soup demos and it’s on a first come basis 

The Indoor Olympics?
The Driftwood in Croton is well aware of the restlessness that often accompanies winter. For some the pursuit of outdoor activities like snowshoeing ice fishing, skating, or skiing helps fulfill the need for sporting activity.
For others who might not be so thrilled about spending time in the Great Outdoors?
They are offering the first annual Winter Games with shuffleboard, cornhole, and  pool providing a venue for the competitive juices to get flowing.
From what we understand registrations were closed Wednesday but if you want to see the games and perhaps be able to say 20 years from now you were at the first one, they start at 10am.

Free Hockey?
Yes on Saturday, January 11 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm your young hockey wannabees can give the sport a try.This event is geared toward kids ages 4 to 9ish and  all required gear will be provided or you can bring your own helmet, skates, and gloves.
