QUINCY, MI (WTVB) – Registration is now open for one of the events being put on the Coldwater Area Chamber of Commerce.

After the Poker Run, there will be live music at Bent Prop Pub on Lake Drive.
For Rain Kemperman of Coldwater, formerly of Colon, mermaids have been alluring for years.
As a result, Kemperman has a collection of mermaid-themed items and integrates the mystical part-human, part-fish into her life.
“I’m not sure what first drew me to mermaids,” Kemperman said, adding that perhaps it began with mermaids in Peter Pan from when she was a child.
“I’ve drawn them and liked them for nearly as long as I can remember.”
Kemperman’s collection of mermaid memorabilia started with a lamp given to her by her stepson and her husband for Mother s Day 2003.
“It has become a holiday tradition now,” she said.
