holiday

Saturday night downtown was a fun night of celebration for our Independence Day in Grand Rapids! We have lots of bands playing, a bunch of great food and drink, and of course, a HUGE fireworks display off a bridge across the Grand River!

For the 11th consecutive year, we tried to do our part to help out families in need this Christmas season with Free Beer & Hot Wings Holiday Break-Ins.

'Tis the season for mistletoe!

We were introduced to TLC's show "Extreme Cheapskates" a while back and couldn't be more bothered by it.

It's really great when people are passionate about their job. Scot Simms in Westminster, Md., is one of those people.

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Well a homeless man in Virginia would be thankful if he had a family to spend it with this year.

Budweiser is putting it's famous Clydsdale's ad out to pasture this Christmas season. Apparently horses aren't "in" this year. The long-running holiday campaign, in which a camera follows the majestic, giant horses pulling a wagon through the snow, has aired every December since 1987.

On Friday, New England Patriots Head Coach Bill Belichick was a guest on ESPN's "Mike & Mike" radio show with co-hosts Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic. Since it was Halloween, both hosts were in costume.

Just when you think Halloween was in it's prime, you can't help but deny the fact that the holiday juggernaut known as Christmas is just around the corner. Downtown Grand Rapids is no stranger to the merry season.

In case you missed it, today is National Coffee Day!  So if you love the roasted bean thing, call it "black gold", or whatever, this is your day! Head over to your favorite coffee joint, say hi to your barista (I still don't think "barista" is an actual thing), and order your favorite caffeinated drink in whatever language they make you speak in their store.

In case you didn't make it to downtown Grand Rapids for our 5th of July fireworks show, and didn't see or hear them, then you must have been in another state, since the show was huge and amazing! Thanks to Amway for the amazing fireworks display, honoring all those men and women around the world who serve, and protect America's security and freedoms!
