Out and About – Week of Feb. 1st

Welcome to the month of February. My feeling is that we’ve been blessed with a rather mild winter so far. Oh sure, we’ve had a couple wintry storms, but this is Michigan, and we’re in St. Joe County. We miss a lot of bad weather and allow those counties north and west of us handle the really nasty stuff. In …

Out and About – Week of January 11th

At times, I mention an event that won’t take place for over a month. I do this because I feel it’s an important event and there also might be a time factor involved. The 2010 Three Rivers Area Chamber of Commerce Ice Breaker Silent Auction is such an event. I would assume that 75% of the residents in the Three …

Out and About – Week of January 4th

Happy New Year! 2010 is already five days old, and I still have my list of New Year’s resolutions. Whether I adhere to that list still remains to be seen. I just hope I don’t misplace it. I’ve always preferred the even numbered years. Don’t ask me why. Perhaps it’s because I was born in an even-numbered year, or maybe …

This Friday is Christmas Day. I’m not telling you something you don’t already know, but I’m just reminding you that you only have two more full days to do your gift shopping and if you haven’t mailed your Christmas cards, the chances of them arriving on time are slim to none. The time for procrastinating is over. Here’s a reminder …

Out and About – Week of December 7th

The Three Rivers Community Players thank those patrons who attended this year’s Make We Merry. The audiences were very receptive, as always, and the performers had as much fun performing as the audience had in watching this annual event. This year, patrons donated their funds as they exited the Performing Arts Center, with all monies collected designated to go to …

Out and About – Week of Nov. 30th

This is December 1, and the pressure is off. The 2009 football season for the Three Rivers Wildcats is over, and what a season it was. We went all the way to Ford Field in Detroit. Unfortunately, the Marshall Redhawks also went to Ford Field, and that was the problem. I’m pretty sure we would have done better playing the …
