This Weekend: Music, Art, Firefolks, Market Stuff & Carmen’s

If you’re wandering around Newaygo Saturday there’s an entire afternoon and early evening of music within walking distance as The Newaygo Brewing C. brings in St Joe Jack  from Noon-4pm and the RiverStop Saloon welcomes Backwoods Ltd. Around 60% of the Backwoods Express (hence the Ltd.) will kick it up at the comfy downtown watering hole from 5-8pm.
And  later on if you still haven't had your musical fill head over to Forager in Howard City because starting at 9pm the Andrews String Band will be laying down some tunes and we hear they have a rather eclectic play list.

NCCA-Artsplace in downtown Fremont has this very cool thing called Saturday Drop-in Art for Children.
 This week’s theme is Autumn Leaves and the one hour class begins promptly at 11:00am so it does not pay to dawdle when there is art to create, right?
It’s a “make and take” kind of thing with all ages welcome and children under the age of 5 would need to have an accompanying adult.
A bargain at $3 and like we said you get to bring home a piece of  creative expression from a budding artist. What’s not to like?

Prefer  your artistic endeavors combined with vegetables? Then head over to the Croton Township Library for the 5th annual  Pumpkin Painting from 10:30am-12:30pm Saturday.

If you live in the Holton area  and you want to meet the folks who are there when they are most needed to save lives  and literally put out fires, come to the Holton Township Fire Department 6590 Holton Whitehall Road Saturday between 5-8pm and get yourself acquainted. While there think about your smoke detectors, fire plan  etc. and ask any questions you might occasionally think of from time to time.
Aside:  I’ve often wondered how a firefighter feels when some guy in a suit who works in an office talks about ‘putting out fires’.

Muskegon Farm Market is hosting having some Halloween fun Saturday with many activities beginning around 11am. Hitting the Muskegon Market on a Saturday  is an exceedingly splendid experience that has never disappointed... mainly because close by is the remarkable Carmen’s. 
This, folks,  is a breakfast emporium extraordinaire and not just due to the truly righteous food but also for the opportunity to witness the most efficiently seamless eatery I have ever been privileged to experience. It’s hard to explain but one visit there and you will get it. 
Tip well because from the hostess to the servers to the bussers and the cooks these folks have it down.
