GRAND HAVEN, Mich.  -- St. Patrick’s Day festivities will come to Grand Haven early as the Loutit District Library presents the Mona Shores High School Fiddlers on March 9 for an afternoon of popular Irish fiddle music as part of the library’s Sunday concert series.

This free concert begins at 2 p.m. on the library’s upper level lobby. Library officials are encouraging the public to arrive early due to limited seating. LDL opens at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

The MSF was formed in 1996 by the retired Mona Shores High School orchestra director, Timothy Staudacher, to create an alternative style for string players that revolved around the performance of folk music from various cultures. The fiddlers are lead by current high school orchestra director, Samer Jeroudi, who is in his third year.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich.—Grand Haven residents looking for a place to safely dispose of unwanted medication will have to travel a little farther.

Because of space limitations at its new office on South Beechtree Street in Grand Haven, the Ottawa County Department of Public Health no longer offers medication disposal services at that office.  Residents are encouraged to visit any of the alternative locations in Holland, Hudsonville, Zeeland, West Olive, Grand Haven Township, Coopersville, Allendale and Georgetown Township.  For exact locations, visit the Ottawa County Health Department website here.

According to the Partnership at Drugfree.org, each year, more than 71,000 children in the U.S. are taken to emergency rooms for accidental overdoses of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.

SPRING LAKE, Mich.--Enjoy live music by folk fingerstyle guitarist David Youngman at Spring Lake District Library Sunday, Feb. 16 as part of the  library’s free Music by the Fireplace concert series.

Youngman will be performing  from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Youngman uses unconventional techniques on the guitar such as drumming on the body of the guitar, two- hand tapping on the neck, and extensive use of harmonics to create the illusion of a full band coming out of one guitar. He incorporates elements of jazz, bluegrass, pop, celtic, funk, and classical genres in his blend of traditional and contemporary music.
