Weekend Idea Round-Up

What? But it's Thursday!

That's right, West Michigan, we're mixing things up and giving you an extra day to plan your weekend as well as a new video edition of the round-up. Kelly and I took a moment from our busy travel show/travel guide schedules to build our fancy set in the back of the WMTA HQ. It's amazing what one finds in storage when there's set building to be done. It felt like "Wanye's World."

Each Thursday, we'll bring to you weekly clips highlighting three happenin' events. Up first is the Petoskey Winter Blues Festival, Build Your Own Bobsled event at Double JJ in Rothbury, and Super Science Saturday at the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo. Enjoy!
