Lots happening in our slice of peninsular paradise.
Fun seekers will find a lot of offerings this week as we start getting traction for The Big One. Yes the always magical 4th of J. weekend is on tap for next weekend. The midsummer birthday celebration like no other as revelers ring in #297 for the U.S. of A.

The River Stop Cafe continues their Thursday night musical offerings as Whirlin Wind perform at the downtown Newaygo eatery from 6:30-9pm. We don’t know much about them but this most welcome series by the RS folks has been a hit thus far. Ok here’s a group we Do know about. The Guiness Brothers, one of the most popular acts in the area, will be gracing the deck at the Driftwood on Saturday (4-8pm) and Sunday (3-7pm). They never disappoint and Ms. Powell, who has some serious pipes,will get the deck rocking with her vocals. On Friday it’s Open Mike night at Flying Bear Books in downtown Newaygo starting at 6pm so convince your cousin Nate who has been entertaining at family reunions over the years to come down and play for people he’s not related to.

No, not investing. Sampling. The All American North Country Store (a.k.a.Hess Lake Party Store) is the site of a Spirit Tasting event with Northern Latitudes and RWB Distillery bringing in some samples for sippers. 4-7pm Friday. Nothing geeks up kids like loud trucks and tractors performing amazing feats in an outdoor setting. That being said, on Saturday the 3rd annual Bob Gilliland Memorial Truck and Tractor Pull is happening at the Fairgrounds in Fremont starting at 7pm. If you’ve never been to one you have to go. If you are already an aficionado it’s been marked off on your calendar since they announced it. Downtown Muskegon has the Lakeshore Arts Festival Saturday and Sunday from 9am-5pm Been hankering for a little rodeo action? You’re in luck. The Adam Scott Memorial Rodeo will be this weekend at 1343 40th street halfway between Newaygo and White Cloud. Good event with a lot of talent out on those grounds. Action begins Saturday at 6pm There it is. If you have an event coming up let us know and remember we are about to welcome in July with a bang or two so look at this weekend as kind of a warmup And by the way… Who does the 4th better these days, Hesperia or Croton? “Some of the best memories are made in flip flops.”-Kellie Elmore
