The Music Still Plays

My heart goes out to those in Nashville and also the communities north of us on the Cumberland Rivers that experienced recent flooding. Although Nashville's recovery and clean-up will take some time their volunteer spirit is already hard at work. Many of the businesses are open and the music is still playing in Music City. I found the best travel information here at visitmusiccity. My mom is going to Nashville this weekend. I plan to visit soon.

The water has traveled north, and we are seeing unprecedented water levels on both Kentucky and Barkley Lakes. We are dry in downtown Grand Rivers where the water levels are controlled by the dams. The lake levels ARE high and the Jetty on KY Lake has water over it and the water is very high in the marinas. The marinas are doing an excellent job dealing with this challenge.
We're playing music here in Grand Rivers too. The Big Band Show is tonight and the Variety! show opens tomorrow night. Both shows offer buy one get one half off specials for this weekend. Our May calendar is full of fun so come on out and join us for a fun filled springtime at the lakes.

Open for Season

Moodie Tackle Company, Four Rivers Harley Davidson of Grand Rivers, The Shirt Shack, and Grand Rivers Linen Outlet are now ALL OPEN FOR SEASON!
