It's A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood......Check this Out!

Black is Beautiful .. RIGHT???! We’ve been talking with Scott, Mallory, Colleen, Teah, Alisha, and Suzanne today. Each one of these businesses are struggling due to the reduced access to Main Street, but each one is also EXCITED to see the incredible improvements that are taking shape!

This beautiful black surface is just the start of the final stages of Phase 1 downtown. It’s the underlying leveling for the tough spots, but it’s real, visible evidence we are moving into the last stages! Hooray!

Unofficial word from unofficial observers says it looks like we’ll see this Black stuff spreading like hot lava next week!

The curbs are looking beautiful too! We’ll share some pictures and more details about the new curb styles next week.

But for now, It's A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood......Come on out neighbors! Come be our neighbors, you belong downtown.

Sand Lake Independence Day Parade

Cedar Springs BOB — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 19:57:59 GMT

The Cedar Springs BOB project would like to give a High Praise Salute to all of the parade participants of the Sand Lake Independence Day celebration parade today hosted by the Sand Lake chamber of commerce.

The parade today lasted for more than an hour with a constantly moving parade of small town local community displays of businesses and organizations and community celebration support. We posted only 10 pictures here as a sample of the dozens that we took as the parade went by. Please scroll to the bottom of this post foa a list of the participants we noted. (if we missed any, please post in comments and we will gladly add them)

The parade stepped off with the lead of military veterans and a flag salute and the national anthem performed live at center stage in downtown Main Street.

Followed by the Grand Marshal and the Sand Lake Queen and her Court. The parade was also blessed with several Queen floats from various other local small town festivals throughout the parade.

The marching band for the local Tri-County High School followed closely behind the Sand Lake Queen's float.

Big trucks with big horns and big machines were proudly displayed by several local hometown businesses. Dean's Excavating and Denton Boys with their drilling toys were the two biggest displays of those big machines but they were not the only ones! Proud displays made by many small local businesses of their trucks, vehicles, and floats enhanced the parade along with a colorful display of many demolition cars promoting the demolition derby this evening.

We also saw political floats, churches and religious organizations, and community members proudly displaying their American Flag colors.

The parade ended with a very loud display of horns and sirens by fire trucks from several of the surrounding area departments who provided time and effort to participate in the parade.
