This Weekend at Grand Lake - November 21, 2024

A quiet weekend ahead of Thanksgiving Week at the lake...

Good Morning!

It’s a bright, sunshiny Thursday morning out there, but a little on the chilly side.

But it is, after all, only a week until Thanksgiving, so there is supposed to be a bit of a chill in the air.

It’s a pretty quiet weekend around the lake, but it is shopping season.

There is a new group in the South Grand Lake area called Grand Lake Buzz on Facebook that is a group of local small business owners who are working together to bring attention to the great shops and local businesses around South Grand Lake.

You will find them on Facebook HERE.

And don’t forget about the big Shop Grand Lake Holiday Shopping Experience happening from now through December 6th. Spend $25 at participating businesses around Grove and Monkey Island and get entered to win some cold hard cash.

Nice!
