Bud Bash 2016 Coming This Weekend Aug. 6

Day 270

Bud Bash August 6, 2016. Sends chills down the spine of some and a flame up the behind of others. Either you love it or hate it.

Every year on the first Saturday of August, the Limberlost restaurant and bar, holds their celebration of summer called Bud Bash. The outdoor tent has already been setup and ready for all of the party goers, young and old (mostly young). The lake will fill the south shore by the Limberlost, with all manner of boats, tied together. Many people will party on the lake, moving from boat to boat.

Most will just have a few drinks and some fun. But a few will over-do-it. And so it is that extra police presence will be felt all weekend long, starting Friday through Sunday. Most of the complaints come from the noise but tickets will be handed out for: under age drinking, urinating in public, indecent exposure, drunk and disorderly and DUI. Although it is only a small group that will get into trouble, some residents will use this as an excuse to try to shutdown the event.

Many local residents will forego the weekend all together and head out of town. Much the same as when the Dream Cruise is held downstate along Woodward Avenue.

As for me, when I do make it to Bud Bash, it's during the day and only for a short time. I'd rather be fishing.

So if your coming to Houghton Lake for Bud Bash 2016, have fun, but please respect the resident property and stay safe. Don't drink and drive. We do have a taxi service if you need one.

If you need a ride call Executive Taxi at 989-422-6457.

Until tomorrow,

Ken
