Coast West Fest in Muskegon ROCKS!

What a great night!
I was concerned that 1st day jitters would be evident but "Wow" is the word as this crew really knows how to put on a perfect show.
Everything that made our beloved Summer Celebration Pure Fun is back on our beautiful lakeshore.
And more.
Easy-to-find and inexpensive or free parking.
Fab summer food (deep fried Twinkies!) that would send NYC's nanny Bloomberg into fits of recipe rage. (YES!)
16oz beers!
Cabernet!
A solid and friendly police presence with military booths. (You MUST bring your kids-especially the little ones- to the National Guard climbing wall!)
But the new "3 Stages/One Ticket" really made this a unique event.
Choose your music, change your venue, relax by the shore or jam in the mosh pit.
Or do it all as we did, trying each stage….. a few times each.
The carnival will be missed by some but it really reduces the crowds and opens up the entire park for a different feel at each stage.
Though more tables/benches would be nice on the point.
Thanks to M-Live and the other sponsors.
Come on Muskegon, this is your town and your festival.
$25/night is the bargain of the millennium!
Coast West is a first class event.
