This Weekend at Grand Lake - April 26, 2024

Good Morning!

Actually got a little rain overnight and this morning, at least here at World Headquarters near Ketchum. Not a lot, but a little.

And, it sounds like there is more on the way over the next few days.

But that’s OK, we’ll have ourselves a great weekend anyway.

By the way, word on the street is that the crappie are finally on the bank, so if you are a lazy, just do a little vertical jigging on a dock kind of fisherman like I am, now is our time to shine!

Alright, so… I’m thinking it is time to go back to 2 emails per week.

There will be a Monday morning email that will include the latest from the Lake Bum and the info you need to navigate the week around the lake, and then a Friday email with your full schedule of weekend events and live music.

I’m going to start that back up this coming Monday, so, be on the lookout.

And there is a way for me to give you the option of which emails you receive, just Monday, just Friday, or both.

Let me try to figure that out over the next few days so you can have a little control over how often you hear from me.

Anyway, that is what lies ahead. And what is immediately ahead is this weekend at Grand Lake!

Lake Level - As of 7 am, the official lake level is 742.06’ with no generation. Lake temps are into the low 60s.

Chamber Meeting - The South Grand Lake Chamber is hosting their monthly membership meeting today (Thursday!) at 11:30 at the GRDA Building in Langley. Let them know you are coming!

Azalea Days - Tonight, Thursday evening, starting tonight at 7 pm, is designated as Azalea Days at Lendonwood Gardens in Grove. This is a (Free!) opportunity to enjoy the gardens with the azaleas in all their glory, along with live music, fire pits, and even a cash bar. Sounds like a great spring evening in Grove.

Oklahoma! - There are performances of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Oklahoma happening over the next four days at The Coleman Theater in Miami. Details can be found HERE.

Ribbon Cutting - Friday at 5 pm at the new Shops at Grand Meridian is another South Grand Lake Chamber ribbon cutting - this time for 2 businesses new to the area: The Erickson Mercantile and 2Dye4 Crafting Corner. Stop by and check them out!

Spring Fashion Show - Rustic Rehab in Grove is hosting a Spring Fashion Show on Sunday at 2 pm, featuring several area boutiques. Fun, fashion, and refreshments - awesome!

Pickleball Mixer - The South Grand Lake Chamber is hosting a Pickleball Mixer on Sunday at 2 pm at The Anchor. I think the registration deadline has passed, but you might contact them HERE to find out if you’d still like to get in.
