The two most repeated questions around the area have been; Are the Blue Angels performing this year? (yes, they did) and “When will the film festival movie schedule come out?”  Well it did come out last Friday and once again the choices are overwhelming.   I am putting this first since you need to get reservations and tickets now!  When you talk about “BUZZ” you can’t get more excitement than the Traverse City Film Festival!

THE BUZZ from the BLUFFS

Happy Spring from Indigo Bluffs!   How do we know it’s spring?  The street sweepers have finished washing the winter salt and sand off the roads, and more significant, Interlochen Center for the Arts has published the schedule for this summers’ concerts. Headliners and personal favorites are Sheryl Crow on June 14 and Taj Mahal on July 8 (I have my tickets to this one).  Also consider The Capitol Steps on July 3; it may be the only time you can enjoy politics.  It’s time to get out your calendars and make sure you have reservations for the best of times around Leelanau County this summer.  Get your Interlochen events schedule and tickets at Interlochen.org.   You will find student performances as well as the professionals and those student performances are fabulous.  Best seats and popular performers will be sold out so don’t wait.
