Monday, April 19th is the next planning meeting at 6pm at the Ice Cream Shop. What better place to hold a meeting!

Things are coming together quite well so far. We've got all the entertainment lined up, starting Friday night, August 5th with Joel Tacey, who entertains at libraries and schools with a great family show, followed by the Scottville Clownband returning for their 4th year. Saturday afternoon the Straightforward Bluegrass Band plays from 2-4:30 with great variety of music, followed by the Polka Pals from Gaylord playing from 5-9pm. I don't think it's a secret anymore that my brother in law is the drummer in the band. How else would I get a group from Gaylord to come all the way to Copemish!!

Stay tuned for a full schedule of events coming soon. And remember, any questions, email me at ppaige@acegroup.cc.

Let the planning begin!

Well, with two planning meetings under our belts now, things are already coming together. New events being added this year are sure to be big hits. Friday night, August 6th, stop by for the Joel Tacey show. Joel Tacey does a wonderful show of juggling, silly music, wacky stunts and much more. Joel will be followed by the 4th year return of the Scottville Clown Band. We are happy to announce that the Straightforward Bluegrass band as well as the Polka Pals will both be returning for Saturday, August 7th.

This year we've also added pony rides to the list of events for the kiddies on Saturday, along with the always popular Titanic slide and kids games. If you've never slid down a giant blow up slide that looks like the Titanic sinking, you just haven't lived!! It is loads of fun for kids and adults!New also this year, the Betsie Valley District Library will have story time in the park and a fun craft for the kids to enjoy.

Sunday is shaping up to be fun with the St. Raphael's pancake breakfast, Historical Society 5k run and walk, and quite possibly, Fire Department waterball competitions.

Other events include lawn tractor races, craft show, Cleon Fire Department chicken dinner in the park, the ever popular Copemish-Cleon Historical Society display, a parade and much more. Watch for the full schedule soon.

As always, we love to have you. Feel free to call or email Pam at 231-378-2465 or ppaige@acegroup.cc with questions or comments.
