Free hot dogs, good music, and a birthday celebration with the community!

This Saturday, I’ll be at Fourth Street Woods Park from 11:30 AM to 1 PM, slinging weenies and celebrating my birthday with all of you.

We’ll have free hot dogs, music, and a playground for the kids. And we’re just across the street from Sullivan Field, where my community involvement first began.

More than anything, I’d love the opportunity to meet you, hear what’s on your mind, and share a little more about who I am and why I’m running for First Ward City Commissioner.

I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to make an informed decision when they vote, and sometimes that starts with a simple conversation.

Hope to see you Saturday!

📍 Fourth Street Woods Park
Saturday | 11:30 AM–1 PM

Construction Update: @thewestsidegr historic ballpark construction project is taking shape.

The fact that we’re trying to make the bathroom update a bit more fun is everything lol.

Next up: the donor wall, gate entrance, museum, and more about the concession stand and of course the CHILI COOKOFF 👀

Make sure to follow for more updates!

Some incredible facts about the giant tire swing in Grand Rapids that you may not know! Motu Viget was installed in 1977, after an accident, the cables were upgraded in 2016, and it even inspired a song used in Juno!

It’s kind of exciting.

THIS is a HUGE milestone in the process of renovating the ballpark.

More than 500 of you donated and bought a brick during our brick campaign last year and now they are finally being engraved.

We already can’t wait for the full circle moment to happen when they are being installed and you get to find your own brick.

This thing is loaded.

@grandrapidsburgerweek take two 🎬

We HAD to try the son of a tot @gypsumgrillgr @minesgolf and it was SO messy and SO good.

Best part, each burger is only $8.

GR Burger week is happening all weekend so make sure to get that burger after you hit the golf course.

It really can’t get any better than this.

Where should we go next? 👀

Cheers 🍔
