Contest

Congratulations to the four local charities who each received $5,000 from Old National Bank in the  "Choose Your Charity" giveaway. 100.5 The River, and all of our Townsquare Media Grand Rapids radio stations were so proud to team up with Old National to help them support some very deserving local charities.

In honor of the return of the Grand In Your Handcontest, I thought it would be fun to come up with a bunch of ways you could spend $1,000 right here in Grand Rapids. From curing your sweet tooth for the rest of your life, to a summer in the sun. This has you covered.

What do you think, yummy? It's a Deep Fried Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Pie! Oh, my! My mouth is watering and I'm beginning to drool over the finalist list of possible new food at Fifth Third Ballpark and the Whitecaps, and this is one of the eight finalists!
