Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Committee's here with weekend events, and it's that time of year.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
It really is. I think this is kind of really
truly the official kickoff into the season, because we have
so many Christmas events that are now happening. I want
to start with our grand Rapids Chris Kindle Market officially
open for business. I was out there for the grand
opening yesterday. Guys. It's amazing. Double the vendors. They've moved
the curling sheets upstairs to the balcony at the Downtown Market.

(00:25):
It makes for a really really cool spot. They've got
a new bubbles bar, They've got new non alcoholic drinks,
Kinder Punch. It's a fabulous spot. And if you've got
shopping to do.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
I'm a little tired, let me interrupt. Blah blah blah.
Curos go ahead.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
I was like, I'm sorry, we about to fight right now,
because I'll grab my Santa hat and go Sanna on you.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
You've got pogis in Curos, right, So that what seems
to me a blend of international beauty.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
I like the move of curling up top too. It's
so beautiful abouts. I heard about your you know why
you could eat your churros up in the balcony. Happiest
day of your life. Yes, there you go. Yeah, watch
because you're not really a curl en.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
No, no, I don't. I would seem to me you
could bash your fingers between two of those rocks.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
That's supposed to stand in between them. I'll take it
for some practice. It goes Wednesdays through Sundays until December
twenty third. By the way, the big guy in Missus
Claus come out on Wednesdays. Speaking of the Big Guy,
making another trip to West Michigan this Saturday night. Oh,
it is the Gentex Santa Parade downtown Grand Rapids And

so it's gonna be everything lit up. All the floats
are going to be decked in Christmas lights. And then
it goes right into the Rosa Park Circle tree lighting.
And I saw all you see all the downtown workers
putting all the lights on the trees the other night.
It's gonna look absolutely stunning.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Everybody's in studio in the next half hour involved in that.
So we'll talk a little more in detail all about
the family experience.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
Good stuff, our friends at the Christmas light show over
at LMCU Ballpark are doing the Winter wonder Walk this weekend,
so this is both Saturday and Sunday. You have the
chance to walk through before it opens to cars on
Wednesday next week, so night before Thanksgiving is when the
Christmas light Show opens, but you can do the wonder
Walk as a family. It's really magical. I gotta be honest,
