Big Weekend Coming Up!!!

The annual U.P. Builder's Show is as sure a sign of spring on its way as crocus sprouting through the snow! With St. Patrick's Day right around the corner, Yoopers begin to feel confident that there may only be one more snow storm on the horizon. Cabin fever has set in for many and we begin to look for any sign that winter will give way to spring. And for some they just can't wait, you know the ones; you see them out and about with their Bermuda shorts and a parka on! "It's above freezing - time to pull out the summer gear!" The show also marks the beginning of my busy season as a REALTOR. Home sales pick up in the spring when the snow melts, trees bud, and flowers bloom. In fact the activity has already picked up towards the end of February this year!

Held in the Superior Dome on the campus of Northern Michigan University, the builder's show attracts upwards of 290 vendors and 10,000 guests! It's definitely worth your time to stop in and take a look at the exhibits. (Don't forget to pick up some of the candied almonds while you're there! So Good!) The show also gives me the opportunity to see friends, clients and associates that I may not have seen through the winter and meet new folks as well. Feel free to come visit with me at the show Saturday March 8th between 10am and noon or Sunday March 9th between 11am and 1pm at the RE/MAX booth.

If you are looking for something more to do this weekend, I will be sponsoring the NMU Wildcat Hockey game Saturday March 8th at 7:35pm at the Berry Event Center. Come out and support the local team in the first round of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) Playoffs. The NMU Wildcats host Ohio State University in a best-of-three series beginning Friday night. The Wildcats enter the playoffs as the sixth seed while the Buckeyes are the 11th. The winner of the series will advance in the CCHA Playoffs. The playoff series is a rematch of last year’s first round when the two teams battled in Ohio. OSU took the first game 6-2, NMU won the second game in overtime 3-2, and then NMU advanced by winning game three (3-2). It's a great match-up. Tickets are currently on sale at the Superior Dome ticket office, the TCF Bank ticket outlet in the University Center or on-line (http://www.nmu.edu/tickets/). Fans are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance to have their season seat and to avoid lines on game day at the Berry Events Center ticket window. My family, friends, and I will be in box suite #1 - feel free to stop by and say "Hello!"& GO CATS!
