How do you get rid of a spare 125-ton locomotive you just have sitting around? Well, if you are Consumers Energy -- you donate it to a local non-profit group!

It was a short week, but the weekend is here again! Here are 10 different events on the calendar for this weekend.

Where can you go to see fireworks this year? We have put together a list where you can see fireworks on various nights all weekend long.

In the first two weeks of July we have 20 different fairs and festivals in West Michigan. Here are the events planned for the first half of the month of July...

It is Memorial Day Weekend -- the unofficial kick-off of summer for most people. There are several activities planned for the holiday weekend.

I found an old church on Leonard Street that is for sale, although it needs a little restoration. One cannot be discouraged just because the HVAC system and water heater are in the kitchen.

Berlin Raceway in Marne beat out 21 other racetracks across the country and will receive $50,000 as winner of the Advance Auto Parts “Advance My Track Challenge.” Fans across the country voted for their favorite home tracks, so the West Michigan track is thanking there local fans for the win.

Not all heroes wear capes, some plow ;-)

ArtPrize continues along with several different festivals this weekend. There are a couple of charity events going on, Sinbad is in town, there is a birthday celebration, free ice cream and more.

Summer may technically be over but you can still go out with one final bang! The National Fireworks Association (NFA) is currently in town for their 2016 Expo. Over 250 exhibitors are at this trade show showcasing different fireworks, safety, etc...

Last weekend, the Friends of the Musketawa Trail hosted the Gold Spike Trail Tour. The biennial event covered the entire Musketawa Trail, running from Marne to Muskegon, and connected with the Fred Meijer Pioneer Trail in Grand Rapids to the east.

The Berlin Fair is one of West Michigan's great summertime traditions.  The fair places a special emphasis on youth and agriculture which makes it a great place for the whole family, especially if your kids love animals.
