Celebration on the Grand

I mentioned it in a previous blog, but here is some more information about Celebration on the Grand

Celebration on the Grand is an annual weekend celebration in September to celebrate all things Grand Rapids and to celebrate developments that have happened in the town. The Grand River runs right through downtown, hence the name :) Plus it's an excuse to get a hot dog or elephant ear ... both of what I had Saturday night!

It's a weekend celebration with concerts, activities for kids and a big fireworks display that is usually on the Friday night but since we got rained out they moved it to Saturday night.

The fireworks were great, a nice display of them to watch and then afterward Jean, Deb, and I went to listen to Foghat while Jim and Zach went home since Zach was falling asleep and I don't think he could stand to hang out with "old people" for much longer than he did :)

The weather was a bit chilly but not bad, just a change from the warm summer we have had, it felt like fall had arrived!
