Beachfront Blues



How about that Beachfront Blues event?!  Definitely in the running for the best attended Fuse event yet!

If you didn’t make it out, allow me to fill you in on what you missed.  The evening was staged on the private beach of the historic Glensheen Mansion, with access to the grounds to explore at your whim.  Kyle Scherz added his own flavor to familiar tunes, keeping the atmosphere upbeat.  There were scrumptious Blackwoods appetizers that kept you coming back for more, and free beer from Bent Paddle to cleanse your palate.  Top that off with lively lawn games, new friends and ideal weather!  Even the Sundew paid us a visit with a honk from the lake.

If you didn’t make it out to this one, be sure to join us at the next event.  Fuse at Five on the rooftop Eagle Harbor Room of the Inn on Lake Superior, sponsored by Verizon Wireless.  At this free event there’s sure to be fabulous prizes, tempting appetizers, and a cash bar.  Hope to see you there!
