I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m holding my breath to see what Mother Nature has in store for us in the weeks ahead. I bet even the Groundhog can’t be sure anymore. Mayor Rosie Disch has been sniffing around looking for a local groundhog to get a local forecast. Groundhogs, also known as woodchucks or whistle-pigs, are common in northern Michigan. They are the largest member of the squirrel family in Michigan.
Although, personally, I am not complaining, the lack of winter weather has limited many outdoor activities. But there are plenty of fun things to do indoors. The Northport Performing Arts Center (NPAC) is presenting “Cocktails, Comedy, and Canapes” at the Willowbrook Mill on two Friday, Saturday, and Sundays beginning February 9. Go to the NPAC website for more information and tickets.
There’s lots happening at the Village Arts Building in Northport. Go to the Northport Arts Association for information on their classes. The Omena Historical Society (OHS) hosts a Community Coffee Hour every Thursday from 10 to 11 a.m. at the OHS Museum in downtown Omena.
