I heard someone say it just the other day, “summer has just flown by,” and it’s true. The silver lining in that cloud is the onset of fall. Hard to argue it’s not the most beautiful season in West Michigan.
A big thanks to our volunteers
Cooperative weather patterns have facilitated much-needed village maintenance projects. Volunteers and jacks-of-all-trades, Mark Kuzee and Alan Rumbaugh, have spearheaded the effort with preparing, patching, painting, carpentry, and electrical work on a variety of FHS properties. Frank Brechbiel often lends a hand, even yours truly on occasion, and hard not to acknowledge Tina Cadwallader who has been a pretty good sport about cleaning up the messes we make.
A job well-done
Our flagship museum, the schoolhouse
Our Schoolhouse has been kept busy. She saw two wedding ceremonies, a book signing, Murray Lake Elementary’ s first grade classes, the Fallassburgh Flats Vintage Base Club, and a steady stream of Sunday drivers.
Wedding
Of special note…One of those weddings joined Doug Wilbur, 47-year superintendent of Fallasburg Park, and patron saint of Fallasburg Village in holy matrimony. Congratulations! Doug & Lori!
Book signing
The book signing, introduced our own Emma Palova’s first book, a collection of short fiction, “Shifting Sands Short Stories,” which Palova describes as “magic realism.” There’s still a chance to get your own personal signed copy. Emma will be at our Schoolhouse once again on Saturday, Sept. 16 and Sunday, September 17, from 1-4PM on the big weekend.
The big weekend of the 3rd annual Fallasburg village bazaar
The Big Weekend? Saturday & Sunday, September 16 & 17, of course! The Fallasburg Bazaar in the heart of Fallasburg Village, the John Wesley Fallass Invitational Vintage Base Ball Tournament, Saturday on Fallas Field, “Shifting Sands Short Stories” book signing with Emma Palova, on Saturday and Sunday at the Schoolhouse. Fallasburg Village Museums open both days, and oh yeah, that little, old art fair across the Covered Bridge, LowellArts’, Fallasburg Fall Festival of the Arts-the Granddaddy of them all! No better time to come out to Fallasburg and explore.
Brand new website
For you “virtual” explorers, FHS is very happy to announce the completion of our website upgrade project, the address, www.fallasburg.org . Thank you to the Lowell Cable Television Fund for your financial support. Thank you to Betsy Davidson and Addorio Technologies LLC of Lowell for your know-how. Please check it out, all the pages, pretty cool? We still have a tweak or two to make, a picture to change, but Betsy has done a phenomenal job. Then, she says she’s going to teach FHS how to maintain it… She doesn’t know what she’s getting herself into!
To join, to donate, to volunteer. For events, information, or just a trip down memory lane…
Our next event:
