Spring. . . is that you?
How are your sinuses? With temperamental temperatures lately, it is hard to gauge if spring is really on its way. In addition to the sniffles, cabin fever feels all too real this time of year and we don’t know about you, but we’re ready to plant our garden. However, there are better ways to deal with cabin fever than sitting on your couch watching the new season of Love Is Blind!
Join us in Lake County and try your hand with the family with Maple Sugaring at Lake Metroparks, or sample your way through the Grand River Valley’s 21st Annual Ice Wine Festival!
