GR Now:
CJ highlighted all the fun Halloween activities happening across Grand Rapids but they also highlighted the fact that they now have a new app. With the GR Now app, Grand Rapidians will never again have to ask, “What’s going on this weekend?” The more you use it, the more tailored it becomes to your interested and soon you’ll get suggestions.
To find out what’s happening for the rest of the fall season, you can find a guide on GR Now’s website or you can find the app in the IOS store or Google Play.
Also, don’t forget that it’s a community effort and you can send your favorite events and activities to GR Now for them to share on their website.
Purely:
Purely is an art destination for art that is 100% kid crafted.
If you’ve ever wondered what to do with the masterpieces crowding your fridge from your budding artist, you’ve found a solution with Purely. From sweatshirts and canvases to coffee mugs and more, Purely puts your child’s art on keepsakes for you to enjoy. And, the profits go to the artists, giving kids a chance to earn money and learn about finances.
Inspired by her own kids, Jill’s fridge was overflowing with art she didn’t want to lose when she had the idea for Purely. So, don’t stuff your kid’s art in boxes and put them in storage. Give them the chance to earn money and share their art.
Purely will also be on Dolphin Tank on November 9th at Grand Valley from 1 to 4 pm showcasing their idea and competing for prize money. So check them out there or jump on their website and find a place for all that art!
