Cars and lights and inspiration...

Add some colorful hot rods and you've got a beautiful, vibrant scene...

So, Muskegon, I had to be out of town today (Saturday), but I’ve been discussing events and ideas for improving our beautiful area with community members online. (If you’d like to join the discussion, check out Imagining Muskegon on Facebook). Here are a couple big events going on Sunday:

Hot Rod Power Tour, noon to 6:30 p.m. downtown: Already, Saturday morning, several impressive cars were tooling around the downtown area, and signs and setups blanketed the downtown for this exciting event. And the thing is, you know it’s going to be good, as tour organizers decided they had to come back for the second year in a row.  

Michigan’s 1st Annual West Coast Lighthouse Festival, highlighting the White River Light Station, Little Sable Point Lighthouse, Ludington North Breakwater Light, and Big Sable Point Lighthouse, put on by the Sable Point Lighthouse Keepers Association. Each of these lighthouses, and the paths to them, are truly breathtaking in their own ways. And the closest one, the White River Light Station in Whitehall, will host free outdoor entertainment: a magic show at noon and a 6 p.m. concert by the band The Turnips featuring folk, roots, and rock. If you make it up to Ludington, you can check out the Historic Homes Tour.

The rest of this week is Love Muskegon Week, and I’ll list the activities here tomorrow. In the meantime, check out one or both of these events, both online and in the real world. You never know where you might find some inspiration.

See ya around.
