Friday, 7/6


Wow. Do you realize that this weekend is the calm before the storm?

I don't mean it's gonna rain out this weekend; in fact, the forecast calls for warm & sunny temps the next week or so, so (public service announcement here) get out and enjoy the nice weather. Nope; what I mean is that this is just about the last weekend of the summer without something major going on in Marquette. Don't believe me?

Next weekend is Forestville 2018.
The weekend after that is the Hiawatha Music Festival
The weekend after that is Art on the Rocks, Outback, and the Blueberry Festival.
The weekend after that is the UP Community Band Festival
The weekend after that is Ore-To-Shore
The weekend after that NMU's Welcome Back Weekend & the Third Street Car Show.
The weekend after that is Harborfest
The weekend after that is the Blues Festival
The weekend after that is the Beer Festival

And by then, we're in mid-September and casting wary glances at our snowblowers, wondering when they'll be put to their first use for the season. So while there was just a touch of hyperbole in my statement, I really wasn't kidding. This weekend, with nothing major scheduled in Marquette (although Pioneer Days is going on in Negaunee) is the last weekend of the summer with nothing going on. So if you're one of those people who tries to attend every major event in Marquette, make sure that you complete all your summer weekend projects this weekend.

After all, it appears as if you'll be busy until the snow starts to fly.

On that note, I shall leave you. I do hope, though, that you take advantage of a nice weekend to get out and do everything you want and/or can. Like I said earlier, we've had a streak of great weather recently, and it'd be a shame if we didn't use it to its fullest.

It is, after all, summer!
