First off, Muskegon, this week saw several ridiculously stunning and inspiring sunsets ... The kind where you end up just sitting on the beach in awe as the sky keeps changing ...
And as for today: Looking for something to do with Dad? Assuming he likes food – and what dad doesn’t like food? – you can take him to sample the area’s culinary offerings at Taste of Muskegon, which is one of those fun activities that makes the downtown come alive. The tastes are quite good, too. And if he’s into beer, or wine, as many dads are, there’re dozens of those libations up for sampling in the event’s Taste Garden. They’re all from Michigan, and dad (and you, if you’re 21 or older) can make your own sampler with the $1 tastes …

Taste of Muskegon has grown and
improved quite a bit since its first year, which was the last time I went … The
only disappointment I had was that there weren’t more of the local restaurants represented
(’cause there’re several good ones that weren’t there). But all in all, a
great, energetic, friendly community vibe…
In the evening, you can take Dad
to a Special Father’s Day Showing of Waterwalk, an adventurous father/son story
that will inspire pride in the area: It was locally filmed and produced, and it
features local actors.
If you’re farther north, you can
check out the second day of the 33rd annual White Lake Arts & Crafts Festival, which boasts a food court, continuous entertainment, and
work from over 75 artists, all along White Lake in the Goodrich Park Annex.
Or maybe you’ll just grill out in
the backyard (my dad’s favorite thing to do) or have a picnic on the channel or
at the beach. And maybe some fishing (my dad's other favorite :) in one of the many different varieties of water here? Whatever you do, remember that the setting doesn’t get much
better … It’s up to you to enjoy it.
See ya around.

ReplyDeleteWe had some ice cream. A great taste....of MUSKEGON. And I had a sandwich from Fatty Lumpkins. Chicken salad on a croissant. Excellent taste....of MUSKEGON. And I had some curry chicken a la Curry Kitchen. The taste.......of MUSKEGON: very good.
Thanks for sharing, Unknown :) I also had the Curry Kitchen curry chicken (say that a few times fast :0) and some other good stuff ... So great to support local eateries (and Michigan breweries and wineries) and have it be so tasty! :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear. I thought I posted as Muskegon Critic instead as anonymous. I can never get these things right
ReplyDeleteAlso had the Curry Kitchen curry chicken. Most excellent.
Okay, the Curry Kitchen curry chicken is a winner! Three thumbs up here :)
ReplyDeleteWe got rained out on taste of Muskegon but we ordered all the naan from CK anyway. Yes. I wanted ten naan.
ReplyDeleteMmmm ... LOVE naan! SO glad there's an Indian restaurant in Muskegon! And a good one at that :)
