Traverse City Bounces Back: Safety Tips, Spring Events, and Community Recovery
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Saturday, April 18th.
We're starting this weekend with important safety reminders as water levels continue to recede across the Grand Traverse Region following recent flooding. While conditions are improving, county officials are urging residents and visitors to remain cautious. Many roads around the region still remain closed, and officials are warning that more rain is anticipated. Remember, just a few inches of standing water can stall a vehicle or sweep it away, so please turn around and don't drown by avoiding flooded roadways. If you're heading out today, allow extra travel time and stick to known open routes.
On the municipal front, city commissioners will be voting Monday to approve a contract with Grand River Construction for up to 947,265 dollars in bridge and sidewalk work. This investment in our infrastructure comes as the region continues recovery efforts from the recent flooding.
But there's plenty to do around town this weekend despite the weather challenges. If you're looking for some laughs, the TC Comedy Fest is wrapping up today with performances across seven venues featuring headliners Gary Gulman, Roy Wood Jr., Meg Stalter, Sarah Sherman, and Joe DeVito.
For families and culture enthusiasts, the Dennos Museum Center is showcasing Trilobite Treasures, an exhibit that brings Paleozoic creatures to life through storytelling. It runs through May 31st and kicks off at 11 AM today.
Music lovers have options too. The Traverse Area District Library is hosting a Schoolhouse Rock Singalong at 11 AM in the McGuire Community Room, and there's also The 1st Michigan Colored Regiment presentation at 4 PM in the same venue. Both are free community events.
Over at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, the Indoor Farmers Market is open from 10 AM to 2 PM, featuring more than 30 vendors. The market runs every Saturday through April, so this is a great opportunity to stock up on local goods.
If theater is more your speed, Elk Rapids Players are presenting Acting Can Be Murder, a production about a community theater troupe where off-stage drama turns deadly. And the 31st Annual McLaren Children's Health Fair is happening today with a superhero fun run, petting zoo, free health screenings, and hands-on activities for kids and families.
This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
