The 11th Annual Tour De S.I.N.S. is about to get underway once again.  This year we've made a couple of changes.  The Tour is a little later this year (July 28-31) and is being combined with the heretofore much smaller gathering known as "Russfest".  So, the Chicago-based crew will feature some new faces from years past but a lively crowd, nevertheless. Planned activities look to remain largely similar to past tours: Thursday morning round of golf at St. Ives for the early-arriving folks.  Thursday evening sees a twilight round at Tullymore followed by some relaxation over at Gregory's.  By Friday, most of the participants will have arrived, taking part in the traditional lakeside bean-bag tournament, taking a boat cruise or two, and enjoying the first poetry slam.  Friday night sees a ...

This morning I attended a Groundbreaking Ceremony for the Morton Township Library Expansion Project on Monday, May 16, 2011 at 10:00 a.m at 110 S. James St., Mecosta. Even the brisk winds couldn't stop the crowd from gathering. The State Director of USDA Rural Development and a representative from Senator Stabenow's office spoke as well as many local speakers who have made this construction project possible.   In addition to the speakers a group of students were present to join in the ceremony by singing a couple of songs. Phil Potvin was also there. Always a good day when a library makes the news. We will keep you posted on the progress. Best of luck in all you do and thanks for reading.
