DAN BYLSMA AND STANLEY IN GRAND HAVEN

The sign reads "Coast Guard City USA loves DAN" written on the sticks in the shape of the penguins. A clever way to show support to Dan Bylsma yet non offensive to die-hard Red Wings fans.

PRONTO PUPS - THE BEST CORN DOGS

Here is a trivia question for Dan Bylsma - how many Pronto Pups would "Goober" be able to consume per minute? And what did he put on the corn dogs, mustard or ketchup or both, a lot or just a little?

THE BOARDWALK IN GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN

As promised, I am posting photos of Grand Haven, Michigan, the birthplace and hometown of Dan Bylsma, coach of the 2009 Stanley Cup Champion Pittsburgh Penguins.

I hope you enjoy these photos taken on one of the most beautiful sunny days as we walked along the boardwalk, looking up at the blue sky, the red color of the lighthouse, everything was perfect with a couple of corn dogs and a cup of lemonade :)
