Rockin' in Rockford AND Grand Rapids

Holy Schamoly (how the heck do you spell this?) - There are so many free things to do this weekend! Go help Rockford celebrate its 75th birthday this Saturday. There will be a historic play by Rogue River Theatre from 2:00-3:00pm and free music from 3:00-6:00pm. Taste of Rockford is from 2:00-6:00pm and the tickets for that are $1.00. The Rockford Art Capsule event is also taking place until August 16th and all of the art either commemorates, showcases, or reflects life in Rockford 2010. Another great option for Saturday is The Mixing Pot! Head to Rosa Parks Circle in downtown GR for an entire day of free family fun. The event starts at 10:00am with a free breakfast served at 10:10. TONS of music & TONS of dancing! Music ranges from Christian to Reggae, and dance demonstrations like Native American, African, Pacific Hawaiian, and Fire Dancers! There is so much going on I can’t list it all. Check it out on their facebook page. There will even be a live butterfly release (limited to the first 150 families). What an awesome event! Way to go Grand Rapids Community! You rock (a lot).
