Fife Lake--The Best 4th In the North!

This 4th of July my son and I went to see the fireworks at Fife Lake, Michigan.  They did a great job as usual.  I think this is the 4th year in a row that we have attended the Independence Day celebration at Fife Lake.  The locals like it because they do not have to fight the traffic to Traverse City and the fireworks display is truly impressive.

Of course, my favorite place is the Fife Lake Dairy Bar.  That place has the BEST soft serve ice cream and they have a couple dozen great flavors. 

Fife Lake is an all-sports lake just off US-131 and about 30 minutes southeast of Traverse City.  It has a nice sandy beach and a public boat launch. 

I have a couple properties listed out in the Fife Lake area: www.realestateone.com/1709331  and also www.realestateone.com/1707985 .

Moody Blues Concert at Interlochen Center for the Arts

On 26 June 2010 I went to my first Moody Blues concert.  It was great.  I was shocked to realize that the drummer was 69 years old.  He joked that now when he says "Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll" the "Sex Drugs" now refers to Viagra.

They are a true classic band and I am glad to have finally been able to see them. 

The concert was at the Interlochen Center for the Arts which is an amazing place.  It has a great covered outdoor stage set in front beautiful Green Lake.

For those who are not familiar with the area the Interlochen Center for the Arts is home to the Interlochen Arts Academy which is one of the nation's top fine arts boarding school for High School students.  There is the Interlochen College of Creative Arts which has adult classes, there is the Interlochen Arts Camp where there is a great fine arts summer program for grades 3 to 12th.  The Center teaches art, dance, motion picture arts, music, theater, creative writing and so much more.  For more information on the center go to www.interlochen.org.
