Here's What's Happening in the White Lake Area This Week!

The sun has been out, and no matter how cold it remains (even with a few degrees warmer lately), the sun being out makes many start to dream of an early spring. We don’t ever know if an early spring will be a realty in the White Lake Area, but we do know that regardless, there will still be a little something for everyone to enjoy. See below for a preview of what’s coming up this week, but click here to view our full community calendar of events.
