Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum

It's part of a nationwide program to support military families.

President Ford would have been 105 and Betty would have celebrated her 100th birthday this year.

Wow, what a mixture of activities this weekend. We have everything from an exhibit in honor of First Lady Betty Ford to the Grand Rapids Heart Ball. We have music and comedy. There is boxing and hockey. It’s the final weekend to get your taxes done. There is a Motorcycle Swap Meet and a Petting Zoo. There is also a Home and Lifestyle Show.

Betty Ford is being remembered on her 100th birthday.

It's cottages, basketball, prom dresses, maple syrup, Easter egg hunts (for kids and dogs), records & CDs, bunnies, bands, and fowling...all wrapped up into one weekend!

As Christmas gets nearer, there are a lot of holiday activities this weekend in West Michigan. There are also some sporting events, concerts, Menorahs, films, skating shows, some fat tire biking, reindeer, and maple syrup and pancakes. Have Fun!

It looks like winter has arrived in Michigan this weekend! There are several indoor events this weekend to help keep you warm...sporting events, stage performances, book signings, and a Record and CD show. If you feel like venturing outdoors we have a walk/run and a chance to see how the pioneers celebrated the holidays.

This first weekend of December will feature Christmas lights, music, animals, a bar crawl, an open house, ballet and an implosion! Something for all!

It looks like it might be a wintery weekend around West Michigan. It might be a good weekend for a few cocktails, maybe a run/walk, disc golf, or maybe something inside. We have plenty of options for you! This Saturday is also Veteran's Day, a day to honor our friends and family that have served in the United States Armed Forces. The Veteran's Day Parade in downtown Grand Rapids will start at 11 am on Saturday.

It's another weekend of fairs and festivals. We also have movies, concerts and even a commissioning of a new aircraft carrier. There are plenty of activities for all ages. No matter where you are in west Michigan there is something to do!
