Main Street Story Walk

 There is a small town across the river from us, that is known for it's railroad, it's farm museum and it's known as the birthplace of Del Shannon.  I think it's a cute little town and I like it's main street.   Last week they had an event called Main Street Story Walk.  They decorated the windows of the stores to go along with books, and had an ice sculpture event that also went with stories.

Here's downtown Coopersville!  As you can see, it's not too big.

This is the center of town, with a clock tower, a gazebo and the old passenger train in the background.  The train is a fun thing; they have special events at different times of the year - a Santa train, a pumpkin train, mystery rides and just tours.  I went with my DIL last year when they were in town and had fun.

Here's some of the decorated storefronts. My photos didn't turn out good because it was so sunny, the reflection caused issues.

Here's a Magic School Bus - with kids and a bus driver from Coopersville.

A section of The Jungle Book theme in this window.

Under the Sea - with paper mache characters.

And here's some of the fun ice sculptures.  I had a terrible time with these pics too because of the sun shining on clear ice.

This horse and the sea dragon were under the gazebo.

In the center of town is this big outside fireplace.  In this area they had a bunch of Disney inspired ice sculptures.
