This Weekend at Grand Lake - May 22, 2025

Gooood Morning!

Well, I’m not sure how you keep score of things, but… even though it is Thursday morning, I’m calling it the weekend - Let’s Go!!

We’ve already got some visitors, with more on the way, so today’s email is being put together in real time at Beau’s Market & Deli (←FB link) in Langley.

Have you been here yet? If not, you really need to check it out.

It is a one-of-a-kind spot here at the lake with coffee house vibes, great breakfast and sandwiches, and an awesome market with gifts, locally sourced foods, and even some take-and-cook foods to feed your crowd this weekend. Or any weekend.

Anyhoo, they aren’t paying me for this shoutout, but there you go.

Alright, Memorial Day means a chance of storms, of course, and it also means that the weather will be beautiful in between whatever storms move through.

So, get out there, enjoy it, catch some fish, make a few turns, and, most importantly, make those Grand Lake memories!

And here is what you need to know for this weekend at Grand Lake!
