Your Source for Family Fun!

Welcome to our new WGVU Engage blog; your source for finding out what we are doing in the community and how you can get involved! We will keep you updated on everything the Engage Committee is working on, including a new arts initiative coming this fall, and any upcoming events, like WGVU Kids Day at the Zoo. We will share photos and stories after events and are always looking for new ideas or suggestions for what YOU want to see and do. Our community is what we make of it, and we hope WGVU can become your source for some great family fun!

So now that we are thinking family fun, lets jump right into it with a wonderful event we have coming up that your children are not going to want to miss! WGVU Kids Day at the Zoo presented by Meijer is the perfect opportunity to not only explore John Ball Zoo, but to view performances from members of the Arts Council, meet The Cat in the Hat, and tons more for ONLY A DOLLAR! It’s not often you get to entertain the whole family, for a whole day, for only a dollar per person. All this fun will take place on August 5th from 9am-5pm. Tickets can be purchased at WGVU, the West Michigan Whitecaps Box Office, and participating Meijer and Wendy’s locations.

Be sure to check back for pictures after the event, and news on what’s up next! In the meantime, enjoy some photos from our recent Oldies at the Ballpark Concert featuring Peter Rivera. The day was complete with great music, a Classic Car Show, and 293 beach balls! Your's truly even got to judge a hula hoop contest and vacuuming contest; certainly not something I get to do every day! Photos can be seen here:
