FIRST

While it seems that Michigan would be celebrating Thanksgiving with the rest of Americans across the country, that wasn't always the case. Giving thanks around a table of family, food, friends, and of course football, hasn't been around very long in the Great Lakes state. And the reason why we got our late start to the Thanksgiving table is a surprising one.

The leaves haven't finished changing color and already there is talk of snow in one weather forecast for West Michigan.

The robots are coming!

More than 1,000 high school students from 41 Michigan teams will compete in a robotics tournament at Grand Valley State University today through Saturday.

Tomorrow, January 5th, will be an exciting day for nearly 550 high school students and parents as they'll be at Grand Valley State University, downtown, for the "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology" (FIRST) Robotics Competition kick-off event.
