Here’s a perfect reason to get outside this weekend, soak up some fall color, and grab a few freebies while you’re at it!
When and Where
Friends of Grand Rapids Parks is hosting its annual Pumpkin Party this Saturday, October 18, at the Southeast Area Farmers’ Market in Joe Taylor Park—and everyone’s invited!
