- This Weekend at Grand Lake - Super Bowl Snow (?) Day
Good Morning!
So it seems like we are in that pattern that we get every year where during the week it is beautiful outside, and then, come the weekend, eh, not so much.
And that is reason 372 why you should just live at the lake.
Anyway, early word on the street is it is looking like some snow on Sunday, so plan those Super Bowl celebrations accordingly, and - Go Chiefs!
(By the way, I come by that naturally, my first Chiefs game in Arrowhead was in 1980, so I’m enjoying the ride!)
But I digress…
So, last week, I asked you about Facebook - and thank you to the over 200 of you who responded.
The results? 61.3% of you said Yes, you do actively rely on Facebook for local information.
That means that 4 out of 10 of you do NOT rely on Facebook, and that’s a pretty big number, but it also leads to another question…
When I put a link in this email and tell you that it is going to a Facebook page or event, do you click that link? |
Alright… let’s move! Here is what you need to know for this Super Bowl Weekend at Grand Lake!
