Newaygo County Native Gathering Our friend, colleague and occasional collaborator on a number of projects Larry Goiune passed away last winter. He was one of the finest human beings I have known and a remarkable artist and photographer Along with many others he was involved in the initiative that brought the Newaygo County Native Circle Gathering to our area in celebration of the richness of our Native heritage. This Saturday 12pm-7pm and Sunday 1-5pm.The Gathering will be held at Loomis Lodge in Newaygo. This free, family friendly, and always enlightening event is one of our ’can’t miss’ local doings. Stop by. You won’t be disappointed. Art Prize There is nothing quite like Art Prize. Since its inception it has provided an amazing array of incredible creations that take over our metro cousin to the south each year. I still recall a while back when one of my favorite local artists, Lori Hough, had her paper mache giraffes on display. I was at her studio the day they packed the lengthy beasts up for the move to GR. When I think of the logistics I am still a bit stunned they made it there intact. https://www.artprize.org/ Michigan Irish Music Festival
This is my annual favorite as the Hibernian spirit engulfs Heritage Park in Muskegon. As I have said each year by far…and I mean really far…this is the best organized festival I have ever attended and yes, I have been to Wheatland. The music is sublime, the grounds are epic when it comes to people watching, the vibe is way, way upbeat and did I mention the music? There are intriguing learning experiences such as getting the skinny on an Irish wake, tasty diversions such as the Whiskey Snug and the merchants on hand make the Irish Store well worth a walk through or two. I’m getting a cap but one of these years I will take a serious look at the kilts. Friday, Saturday, Sunday in Muskegon. Here’s the link. https://michiganirish.org/
