Space, the final frontier! How about Grand Rapids, the next frontier. Beam me up Scotty!
Well, we are, sort of because the Star Ship Enterprise' Sulu will be in Grand Rapids in November.
This Saturday is the Amway Riverbank Run. Sunday is Mother’s Day! Along with that, we have the Tulip Festival, West Michigan Whitecaps baseball, food trucks, Alice in Wonderland, Star Wars, comedy, a nature walk, and bonsai trees.
We have butterflies, spring break, hockey, boxing, comedy, antique toys, model trains, records & CDs, and country music. Something for everyone this weekend!
