grand raids

There are a lot of Christmas themed activities this weekend...including the Santa Parade in downtown Grand Rapids. There is also the International Wine, Beer and Food Festival, a concert on the Mighty Wurlitzer organ at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, Hockey, Basketball and more!

Drat. Summer is almost done. Schools go back next week, at least those who aren't on year-round schedules. Labor Dayis upon us here in West Michigan, which means one long, last weekend of summer and more time off for the rank and file.

The summer is midway through practically, although it's only mid-July. That's what we get for starting the season with Memorial Day instead of the official start of summer with the summer solstice. Soon, Labor Day will be upon us here in West Michigan, which means a long, last weekend of summer and more time off for the rank and file.
