This Weekend at Grand Lake

Not as cold, I guess...

Good Morning!

Everything I had typed up out here just got deleted.

First... I’m hearing that the fire/fires are out…

BUT - there were boats on fire at Arrowhead Yacht Club marina this morning.

Pictures I’ve seen indicate that some fast-acting folks got the boats pushed out of the marina before it became a truly catastrophic event.

I’m not a thoughts and prayers guy - but ultimately good vibes and high fives to those who were on the scene and acted fast and did the right thing, plus anyone who has been impacted.

I’ve put a post together on the Grand Lake Living website HERE where I’ll update with information and any pictures I have permission to use.

Alright, enough of all that. Here is what you need to know for This Weekend at Grand Lake:

Fun & Entertainment

Note - If there is music happening around the lake and it’s not included here, it’s because folks haven’t let me know, and/or, even as of Thursday morning, there isn’t anything on Facebook. Just sayin’.
