Easter Weekend at Grand Lake

Good Morning - and a Happy Easter to all!

Did you survive that wind last Friday? That was nuts!

It looks like we’ve got a beautiful early spring weather weekend on tap this weekend with mostly sunny skies and temps in the 60s. Sweet.

Besides all of the Easter activities and services, it’s also the big Spring Open House weekend in Grove.

Lots of merchants all over town and the area are participating so head to Grove and take part in the fun. More on that below.

Oh, and calling myself out here, but I’ve seriously slacked in keeping the Events page on the website updated, but I’m working on it, lol.

Anyway, check it out HERE, and if you’ve got anything to add or share, let me know - just reply to this email with the info.

I’m running late again (I’m sensing a theme here), so let’s get to it - here is what you need to know for this Easter weekend at Grand Lake:

This Week’s Sponsor:

Lake Level - As of 8 am, the lake level is 743.31’ with ongoing generation. The lake is murky with water temps in the mid 50s.

Spring Open House - It’s the Grove Merchants Spring Open House Weekend happening Friday and Saturday throughout Grove. Besides any advertised deals, most participating businesses will also be having their own Egg Hunts and Golden Eggs hidden throughout the stores for additional deals. More info on participating businesses can be found HERE.

First Friday - It’s the First Friday in April, and that means it is time for another Wine Share in Grove. This month, the fun takes place at Notable Outdoor Living at 4600 US 59 North in Grove. It starts at 6, and, as always, just bring yourself, a glass, a bottle of your favorite, and - if you are so inclined - a yummy appetizer to share. All are welcome!
