Earth’s Edge on RapidGrowth

There’s a story on the Grand Rapids Rapid Growth site about the Grand Landing development, more particularly, Earth’s Edge’s plans for a boathouse along the stretch of riverfront to be used for rentals, demos and such. It sounds great, I’m already looking forward to spending some time paddling around.

Rapid Growth is a fantastic resource for all things West Michigan. Spend some time browsing. Grand Haven related stories can be found in the Grand Haven neighborhood section.

Visit the Grand Landing site here, and Earth’s Edge here.

One man Polar Bear Club

I’ll refrain from making any disparaging remarks about Korey’s intelligence, but I am wondering why Grand Haven has never established a Polar Bear Club. I think it would go over well as a charity event and a great addition to the roster of Winterfest events. Thoughts? Leave a comment.

Get out to the beer tent and make some yellow snow!

It’s been a while since I’ve had anything new here, winter can be pretty slow, but I couldn’t let these awesome pictures slip by without being noticed.

There are 18 photos in the set, you can see the rest here.

Jingle Bell parade

Jingle Bell Parade, originally uploaded by cyoas55.

Nothing shows the fortitude of our community like dragging the family out to watch the Jingle Bell parade in 22º weather, with blowing ice and snow stinging your face. Bring it on winter!

It’s an effort to stay busy during the harsh winters here, thankfully our area does a good job of providing us with things to do so we don’t all get cabin fever. The Jingle bell parade is one, Winterfest, and Mulligan’s Hollow’s ski hill give us all a reason to get outside and enjoy the season.

Surfer saves dog.

Phill, Tom, Lou, Eric from GR, and Eric at Grand Haven.

These guys look to be about my age. I applaud them for not breaking a hip. What makes old guys like this get on a board? Fossil Night.

Check out the forums there for some talk about the new GH park.
