After a stretch of rain these past days, it looks like we’ll be getting a nice break just in time for this weekend’s events.
Highlights include an Oktoberfest celebration in Grand Rapids, a festival all about elk Up North, and a lumberjack-inspired party in Metro Detroit.
As always, I’d love to hear your suggestions! If you know of an upcoming event you want me to highlight, send me a note here (please send suggestions at least one week before the event).
