We're at that point in the year when winter is close to being behind us and the thought of outdoor patios starts looking like a reality again. Retail stores start putting bathing suits on sale because they've been on the shelves since January and they are taking up too much space. (Because I was definitely considering buying a new bikini while I shoveled my car out of my driveway January 2nd... Not at all).
So before the patios open and the snow turns into rain, get on out to the 2009 Downtown Rail Jam in Grand Rapids. The event is being held this weekend, February 27 - March 1 and will be the celebration to end another great winter in Michigan.
The event will feature a 30 foot high ramp for snowboarders & skiers, a musical performance by Mustard Plug, a live painting performance by Mikey Welsh (designer in Burton Snowboards)and over $10,000 in cash and prizes. The event is open to all ages with the exception of bar events and is a great way to enjoy downtown in a new way. Oh, and did I mention it's FREE?
