It’s finally winter, hooray! This weekend offers a lot of chances to get out in the snow, if you’re into that sort of thing. Here’s just a smattering of what the area has to offer in that regard:
All weekend long
Get out in the snow while we have some!
Whether it’s skating at Rosa Parks Circle, 135 Monroe Center St NW, skiing, snowboarding or tubing at Cannonsburg, 6800 Cannonsburg Rd NE, Belmont, heading over to the Muskegon Luge Adventure Sports Park, 462 N Scenic Dr., in Muskegon, or just sledding on your favorite hill. Just get out there and have some wintery fun while it lasts.
If the idea of donning snow pants and a cap and gloves sends you into a tailspin, there’s plenty of other fun to be had. Here are some indoor, outdoor and even an indoor-outdoor event to check out:
Friday, Jan. 27, 4-11 p.m.
Speciation Cellars’ Sixth Anniversary Party, 928 Wealthy St. SE, Grand Rapids
Speciation Cellars will be releasing its 6th anniversary beer, Biodiversity, which was fermented with wild cultures from their own property. The brewers fermented this unique sour ale in oak barrels for 10 months and then dosed with wild foraged grapes to give the beer a vibrant red color and a burst of flavor. The Sovengard will be slinging some “nordic” hot dogs from 5 p.m. “until they sell out.”
The psychedelic surf rock and blues band, “The Moonrays,” will be playing from 8-10pm. If you miss them at Speciation they will also be playing Saturday, Jan. 28, starting at 5:30 p.m., at Cannonsburg Ski Area in the Cedar Lounge Restaurant.
