Winter broke it’s hold last weekend at the BIC Center as the theater was filled with island revelers rocking out at our Beach Party. Tropical Rock Duo Two Dudes in Flip-Flops returned to our stage for a second year, dishing up Jimmy Buffet favorites along with other great beach-style tunes. The dance floor was lively, mixed in with rounds of Limbo and hula-hooping, bravely attempted by some of our staff and leadership.
 
This week has more group fun on the roster, along with meetings of local organizations, exercise programs, and social gatherings. Check the Community Calendar above for details on those dates, and read on for the major draws.
 
Wednesday’s Time for Art class at 5 PM has instructor Lois Stipp leading participants in the first of two linocut printing sessions. Class size is limited to 12, so please register in advance by calling 231-448-2022, or stopping in personally. Classes are $5.00 but free for those 60 and over. Please place any food orders before arriving if possible.
 

Saturday at 3 PM is another round of Quizzical Lite, hosted by Lonnie Allen. It’s the same great fun, only with half the rounds and during the day for everyone to enjoy. Come and enjoy all the same great trivia, prizes and team fun in half the time, and get your game on! Later that day are two fan-favorite movie treats from the 1980’s for a blast of nostalgia. 4 PM rolls out The Goonies, the Steven Spielberg-directed kids classic that launched many acting careers, in which a group of young misfits called The Goonies discover an ancient map and set out on an adventure to find a legendary pirate’s long-lost treasure. Then at 7 PM it’s the John Hughes comedy-drama The Breakfast Club, another star-making cinema icon where five high school students meet in Saturday detention and discover how they have a great deal more in common than they thought. Concessions available, and please support our regular film series with donations to help us keep the big screen with the big sound glowing and humming.
