Snowboarding in Mount Pleasant takes some creativity sometimes, and some enthusiast create their own parks to snowboard at. Jordan Roberts does a front side board-slide on his homemade park that consisted of a ford f 150, for the starting ramp, which had its bed filled with snow that led to the cab where the starting platform was. This then led down to a small kicker jump to a bike rack. This is no easy thing to accomplish in order to make it Jordan and his friends all the snow around their house and some from neighboring houses. Many other snowboarders that have a passion for the sport take the time to make their own park set ups because it saves time and money driving all the way to Caberfae or Boyne.

Central Michigan University musicians, Seunghee Lee (left), and Zhihua Tang (right), pose after a concert featured at The Art Reach of Mid Michigan as a part of their winter concert series on Sunday, February 14, 2010. Today was another special day for the performers as they are also celebrating the Chinese New Year. This event attracted couples all around the mid Michigan area that appreciated classical music. Their performance was a passionate duet between a piano and violin. “The bass was heavy on the piano”, Zhihua said, but I thought the higher violin played by Seunghee complemented it nicely.
