No different this New Years Eve night as The Buzz took the stage at the Hidden Trails Country Club in Dexter to help ring 2013 in a fun-filled rock 'n roll evening. A large crowd of area residence were on hand to enjoy the event that was complete with a pre-dinner hosted by the John Barge and Hidden Trails, followed by the band at 9:00.
The Buzz is a local band that has grabbed a large degree of acclaim among regional fans for their high spirited stage presence and ability to create add high energy to any venue. It's easy to understand that the group gains pure enjoyment from their performance for others.

Some people will be anxiously awaiting the New Year, while others will continue to desperately hold onto 2012. It is often said that the optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year come in, and the pessimist stays awake to make sure the old year leaves.No matter which type of person you are, something we cannot change is about to happen just as it does every year. We have survived another year of many changes going on in your personal life, and also throughout the world. Are you hopeful for a brighter 2013? Or was 2012 a wonderful year for you?
Throughout our country, we’ve experienced many things through the year of 2012. Some good, and some we would like to forget. One thing that really stands out from 2012 is the Mayan’s prediction that the world would end on December 21st. Although most of us knew better than to believe that, some were nervous throughout that whole day, but we made it!
A good thing about welcoming in a New Year is that a lot of people see it as a chance to start fresh and also to kick some of those old habits. Are you someone who makes a New Year’s resolution? If so, good luck to you in keeping that resolution throughout the New Year of 2013!
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, I think it is that we’re all relieved to finally be out of an election year! Seeing all those political commercials mudslinging at opponents for a big portion of the year is almost tiring.
Whether you will be celebrating with friends, family, or maybe you won’t be celebrating at all, be thankful for the fact that you’re here to see 2013.
2013, like every year, will bring challenges for everyone individually and also for America. Our country is in a fragile state, and maybe you are as well, but let’s all try and see the New Year as an opportunity to gain new strength.
Through optimism, there is little that we can’t accomplish. This is more than just a changing of a year; this is your chance to shine brightly in all your decisions.
No matter what your goal is going to be for 2013, we wish you the best of luck and success in this New Year!
Since many of us hardly see snow throughout the winter months in this area, a lot of people took advantage of the large amount of snow fall yesterday and spent a large bulk of their day outside playing in it.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of cold weather, but I can’t let there be a significant snowfall without me going outside and enjoying it for at least a few minutes.
It may be hard to believe considering I’m eighteen years old, but yesterday I constructed my first snowman! He wasn’t a very big snowman, but he’s still standing! Aside from the hour it took to build a not-so-great snowman, who can let a snow day pass without a little snowball fight?
If you spent your snow day outside doing any “snow day activities,” email us at ShowMe Times and we will feature your picture in an article!You may email your picture to: jsnider@showmetimes.com
