If you say there's nothing to do this
weekend you're insane.
Okay, maybe not literally “insane”,
but if you say there's nothing to do this weekend you're woefully
under-informed. In fact, this is one of those weekends
around Marquette where there's almost too much to do. I was putting
together the “What's Up” segment I do for Fox UP a couple of days
ago and just here in Marquette County there were too many things to
fit into a 90 second spot. I mean, you have the U.P. 200 and other
sled dog races and all the parties that go along with it. You have
Polar Roll fat tire bike race. You have plays and concerts at NMU
Friday. You have the “Night at the Museum” at the History Center
Saturday. You have the finish of the U.P. 200 Sunday.
I could go on, but I think you get the
idea.
It seems like each weekend brings
something to do in Marquette. About once a month, though, it seems
like too many events get crammed into a single weekend. I might be
coincidence or it might be because organizers take advantage of the
fact that people are already in the city (as with the sled dog races
this weekend) but it can occasionally lead to a quandary--
What to do? How to choose? And is it
actually possible to fit 26 hours of events into a 24-hour day
without breaking several laws of physics? It's a problem, but it's a
good problem to have. I think most people would rather have too many
things to choose from than have nothing to choose from. But
sometimes, you just have to choose.
Thankfully, there are still a few
hours left to work out all the details. And maybe, just maybe, by
the time Monday rolls around we'll all be happy with everything we
chose—or chose not—to do. So no matter what you're thinking of
checking out this weekend, no matter where you are, have a great
time!
