- This Weekend at Grand Lake
Good Morning!
I heard the weather guy on Channel 6 this morning say Saturday is going to be a 6-Star Weather Day - so we’ve got that going for us. Which is nice.
So, plan accordingly.
Whether that means getting out and doing a little shopping, catching some fish, playing a little golf, or, well, blowing leaves - I hope you make the most of it.
Now, can you help me out a little bit here?
It’s been a while since I’ve asked any questions of you great folks that read this newsletter — sidebar, did you know this newsletter gets opened well over 3,000 times each and every week? — so I’m going to start asking some questions.
Just quick, one question polls, like this one:
Do you consider yourself to be a full-time resident of the immediate Grand Lake area? |
Your answers will help me continue to create and curate the best information to help you stay informed.
So, Thank You, and here is what you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake!

Today’s Sponsor:
Cody at Grand Lake Watercraft is as busy as can be out winterizing boats right now. That’s right - he’ll come to you! But Grand Lake Watercraft in Grove is much more than just your winterization headquarters — they are your one-stop shop for all things power sports - water and land. And they probably (they do!) have some great gifts in the store in for your favorite power sports enthusiast.
Lake Level - As of 8 a.m., the lake level is 742.63’, with little to no. Water temps are still mostly in the upper 50s.
Chamber Christmas Party - The South Grand Lake Chamber’s annual banquet, also known as the First Christmas Party of the Year, is tonight (Thursday!) at Shangri-La. But you know that because you’ve already got your tickets or RSVP’d, right?
Champagne and Shopping - Also today (again… Thursday!), Grand Panache in Grove — 2092 S. Main St. — is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a Champagne and Shopping celebration that will also include great discounts, food, and swag bags.
Santa Paws! - The annual Santa Paws Pet Photos, benefitting Second Change Pet Rescue, happen this weekend at the Second Chance Thrift Shop at 330 E. 3rd in Grove. Times are Friday from 4 pm to 7 pm and Saturday from 10 to 4. It’s only $10 for a 4 × 6 Holiday Card. Bring the pets and get your picture took - for a great cause!
Drive-in Double Feature - There is great fun to be at the Drive-In Movie Night Double Feature at Wolf Creek Park in Grove this Saturday night, Nov 18th, starting at 6:00 p.m. with showings of "Polar Express" and "Elf". Concessions will be sold by the local Cub Scouts. Good, clean, family fun!
Christmas on Main Street - This weekend, Friday and Saturday, is Christmas on Main Street in Miami. Look for great deals and prizes as you shop historic Main Street.
Holiday Hoedown - There is a Holiday Hoedown Saturday night at The Legacy Events Center in Grove benefitting by Delaware County Community Partnership from 6 to 10 pm. Dancing, live music, photos with Santa, food, and more fun for the whole family. All are welcome - tickets are $20, but kids under 10 are only $5.
Yoga - There are schedule changes for Yoga at The Black Oak Barn at Thousand Oaks Resort near Langley. This week, it is only Thursday night (tonight!) at 6, with no practice on Saturday. And next week, no practice on Thursday but there will be a gentle flow on Saturday morning at 10 help with all of those calories.

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’.
