Spring has Sprung in The Village!

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

Spring Crocus

Spring is officially here, in The Village at Grand Traverse Commons.  The famous, yellow ”Cottage 20 Crocus” has come up through the cold earth, to let us know that we can start planning for warm weather!  It’s always exciting to see this little glimpse of color, when the snow begins to melt away. 

I know I’m getting ahead of myself, but it just reminds me of the fun we’ll have this summer…music on the Left Foot Charley patio, outdoor festivals galore, watching the community garden flourish, the Bocce Tournament & Frisbee on the Front Lawn.  Ahhhh.  I can’t wait!

The Great Indoor Folk Festival

Friday, February 12th, 2010

All together, now.

You (all of you) are invited to The 2nd Annual Great Indoor Folk Festival…and best of all, IT’S FREE!

Last year’s fest was a ball…we had folks of all ages roaming The Mercato halls, listening, singing along, and dancing to the merry tunes.  It was quite a spectacle.  We are expecting tomorrow’s event to be even better; an additional stage has been added at Left Foot Charley, so more great musicians will be able to play.  60 musicians, to be exact.  The rest of the stages (Soloist, Duo, Band, Kids, & Open Mike) will be scattered all along The Mercato in Building 50.  Food & beverages will be available for purchase from Cuppa Joe, The Silvertree Deli, TASTES of Black Star Farms, Trattoria Stella, Sweet Asylum, Pleasanton Bakery, The Underground Cheesecake Co, Left Foot Charley, and Higher Grounds.  We will also be hosting “Hotdogs for Haiti,” which will benefit the people of Haiti (of course.)

So, for all of you with Cabin Fever, or just a hankering for some good, organic music, come on over to The Village this Saturday, 12-5:30pm.  It will be  fun, free, and family friendly :)
