Yesterday Wing experts in Grand Rapids gathered at John Ball Park last Saturday (May 18) and sampled from some of the best West Michigan had to offer. There were plenty of cooked poultry and Leinenkugel's Summer Shandy to be consumed. Check out our photo gallery below.

Eating a chicken wing seems simple enough, right? Grab the chicken wing, bite the chicken wing, tear the flesh and meat from the bone, chew it, swallow, repeat... Wrong! Sure, maybe that's how you eat a drumstick, but if you eat the wing like that... You, sir, are a savage! Or just hungry. Whatever's clever.

3 weeks ago I LOVE THE 80's! I also love music and theatre so this is pretty much awesome for me. I recently auditioned for Grand Rapids Circle Theatre's Summer Concert Series, "Hits Of The 80's" and got cast among 12 of the most talented singers in the Grand Rapids area (I am not one of those... I think they like my spunk ;) )
Did you know we have an events calendar on WGRD.com? Did you know that you can submit your own local community events?
You can submit local events and if the event fits our stations format, we will post it in our events calendar. It's an excellent way to get the word out about your event without spending any money!
