Weekend Suggestion Box; Spring Surge, Soul Sounds, Sandhills, Swans, and Snakes

Set for an evening cruise

The photo? Yes, that is indeed our official watercraft parked at the N3 World Headquarters marina. On the lift, next to the dock, chock filled with gas and ready to roll.
Early? You bet. But there’s a yen to give spring a bit of a boost. To take a leap and trust that maybe a warming trend might arrive to stay awhile, tossing out one of those legendary springs that sing in our memory.
So suggestion number 1? Get some warm weather stuff out on the patio, porch, deck, yard, stoop, anywhere you can. Coax the kinder weather out and maybe, just maybe, by some fortuitous twist of meteorological fate a sublime spring will saunter us right  into summer.
 This weekend?

There are few better places to be for some fine listening than the Acoustic Saturday series being hosted by Newaygo Brewing Co. This week from Noon to 4pm come and check out the soulful sound of Alex Mendenhall who can craft a well told story into song.

“Nothing says spring like the ‘conk-a-ree’ call of a red winged blackbird or the raucous sounds of a sandhill crame”
That’s the intro for the DNR Birding Tour being held Saturday beginning at 9am at the Muskegon County Wsatewater System.
Got an interest in the burgeoning practice of birding?This looks to be a good tour ad DNR Wildlife Communications Coordinator Holly Vaughn will be leading this informative peek at the  aviarian life around us. 7600 Messinger Rd Twin Lake.

Dres for the weather and this included boots for those muddy areas. Scopes are helpful as well.

Ok this is just a monthly thing in GR but we are intrigued. We’re talking about  the Reptile & Exotic Pet Expo going on at the Elks Lodge (2715 Leonard St NW) from 10am-3pm Saturday.
Again we know nothing about these monthly reptilian gatherings but our curiosity is piqued by pet passions that lean toward non traditional  species.

There are a few of the happenings in our area. We would have mentioned Kenny Chesney’s appearance at Van Andel but if you’re a fan you already have your ticket so...

Suggestio Box is sponsored by Newaygo Brewing Co. Great food and drink and great times to be had
