Winterfest is here already

Winterfest this year runs from January 24-27. Looking forward to the new “Human Dog Sled Race.”

Here’s the website, and here’s the schedule of events.

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

Winter Pier Sunset

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 22ยบ 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.

Some more skate park action

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.
