WFGR, Cluck and 5,173 were on hand with our Townsquare Media counterparts to welcome in the 2012 Midwest League season! 70-0 at home this season? I think so!

Here’s some pictures from the game! Go Caps!

Today Matt Hendricks and I had to cover serious hard news at Fifth Third Ballpark. It was the 3rd annual “Whitecaps Media Food Tasting Day” or, “New Ballpark Food” media lunch as Mickey Graham from the Whitecaps puts it. All the new food items for the 2012 season were up for grabs in the Pepsi Stadium Club. Tough assignment today! :)

Some of the taste treats were: Fried Pickle Chips, Smoked Turkey Legs, Gluten Free Hot Dogs, BBQ Chicken Sluggers, Salsalitas, Fried Pierogies, Movie Theater Candy, The West Side Po’ Boy (The fan winner) Vegan and Meat Pasties and Ribs. Some of these items will only be available on the Suite level, so be prepared!

Opening Night is Monday April 9th vs. Bowling Green! Keep listening to WFGR and logging on to wfgr.com to win tickets and see Cluck out at the ballpark!

In the Celeb Grill Challenge at the Knapps Corner D&W, the Townsquare Media Team of WFGR…Cluck, and 100.5 The River took….3rd Place! Now you maybe be wondering…why do we care about 3rd place? Well the 2 teams ahead of us–WOOD TV 8 and WZZM TV 13–both had “celebrity” chefs…And the 3 radio group had no such “chefs”…and of the 3 WE finished at the top! So only behind the TV Stations! Winning!

Our “winning” entry was a Hot Steak Salad, with mustard/bbq/worchester/PEANUT BUTTER salad dressing, with Mango and Cous-Cous. The peanut butter? We had to use every item we were given…and PB was one! And no…Clcuk was not an item…:)

Here’s all the pics from the fun…

First Lady Betty Ford arrived in Grand Rapids yesterday via the Gerald R. Ford International Airport.  The plane landed a few minutes before 5pm and was greeted by Governor Snyder and Mayor George Heartwell.  The motorcade, carrying the late Betty Ford, then traveled to the Gerald R. Ford Museum for a public viewing and memorial service.

Rothbury, Michigan was host to the Electric Forest Festival 2011.  REO Speedwagon dropped in for “Saturday Afternoon Special” show.  Mid-set they announced that many of the people in the crowd owed their lives to them because their parents probably conceived them to an REO Speedwagon song.

After a year delay due to Bono having back surgery, U2 brought their 360 Tour to Spartan Stadium in East Lansing last night (June 26). The Irish rockers went through their whole catalog, playing decades of hits and the production from the 360 Tour was nothing less than out of this world.

On Saturday, June 25th, hundreds of West Michiganders descended upon downtown Grand Rapids in the first annual ‘Slut Walk’.  Contrary to what you are thinking, the ‘Slut Walk’ is to bring awareness to the fact that a woman’s body should be respected and no matter what she wears it should never lead to sexual assault.  Please enjoy the pictures above, courtesy of our friends at the Grand Rapids Social Diary.  The photos were taken by Jake Kosten.

When you are watching the NCAA Tournament this month, expect to see many shots of cheerleaders, particularly during timeouts. And why not? These young (mostly) ladies are athletes in their own right, and add a lot to the ambiance. Here’s a preview of the cheerleading squads that will be represented this March.
