Golf is a big part of what Michigan is all about!
Okay, so not everybody plays golf and I realize that not everybody even cares about golf. But, golf is one of the driving forces of the Michigan Tourism economy. With some of the best courses and resorts in the country, we're blessed that we have such a desirable state to visit and play in.
Pure Michigan's latest campaign officially kicked off yesterday.
Rob Bliss and Jeff Barrett of Status Creative are taking a 10-day, 50 city road trip across Michigan. They will be filming the trip and plan to stop in Grand Rapids on Thursday.
It's time to take those 'city-scape' photo's of Grand Rapids and, maybe, win some prises.

It's all in a name! How many times have you heard that? It's true. I don't even like the typical ice creams flavors like chocolate or vanilla but put a new spin of them and mix in some crunchy, chewy, oooey, gooey stuff and I can't resist
Thanks to the Pure Michigan advertising campaign, tourists from around the country are discovering the cool places Michigan has to offer. I was surprised to see so many out of state license plates on the cars parked at Mission Point Park last weekend
"Pure Michigan"...you know the commercials with Tim Allen talking in a relaxed almost hypnotic tone. Well, it appears that those commercials touting Michigan as the great escape have worked. Tourism in the state is way up!
Here is another one of my "reasons to live, love and enjoy" Grand Rapids.
The Grand Rapids Press posted today that Pure Michigan and the voice of Tim Allen have done it again. It makes you feel warm, and proud, all over.
