LET’S HEAR IT FOR VOLUNTEERS, THEY MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND.

Grand Rapids Festival of the Arts is a community celebration of art, entertainment, food and fun. It is one of the largest all volunteer events in the nation. Everything is free except the food sold by local nonprofit organizations. We were there on Friday and here are some of the sights.  Festival runs through Sunday.  If you double-click on a picture it will get bigger so you can see more detail.
