This Weekend at Grand Lake - April rolls on
Old bulldogs and the Civil War...
Good Morning!
And just like that, it is springtime. I mowed only 6 days ago and the yard could already use it again.
But, it is going to have to wait…. got things to do.
Speaking of things to do, I just want to let all y’all know that the first weekend of May is going to be CRAZY with things going on around here.
From Grove — Food Truck Friday, Art in the Garden, Celtic Days — to Monkey Island — Cinco de Poker Derby — to the South end with Burning of the Socks and a Cedar Port Poker Run, there will be something for everyone.
Make your plans now and don’t miss the fun. If you need a vacation rental, THIS is the page on the website to check out.
Oh, also, for you real estate curious folks - FOUR new listings have been added to the Real Estate page on the website. HERE is a link for that.
