2010 did not disappoint when it came to big news in Grand Rapids. From the community push to land Google Fiber to the world's largest waterslide, there was no shortage of headline-busting stories and social media promotion. And the attention Grand Rapids got on a national level was unprecedented.
To pay homage to all of the people making these some of the most interesting times in Grand Rapids' history, Rapid Growth staff, in partnership with a professional Grand Rapids comedy troupe, will bring all of these stories to life in one fun-filled evening. We'll talk about chickens, Superfriendz, this year's ArtPrize and other earth-shattering happenings this past year.
Don't worry, we won't forget to poke fun at ourselves as well. You'll laugh, cry, scream, sing and scratch your head (maybe all at the same time). We'll have an all-star local cast, including maybe even some cameos by our own staff! If you haven't been to a speaker series event yet, this would be a great introduction. These tend to be very serious times, so it's important to step back and laugh at ourselves once in a while.
Save the date of Dec. 22 at Wealthy Theatre. Doors open at 5:30 p.m., showtime around 6:15 p.m.. As always, our speaker series events are open and free to the public. Sponsored by Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) and produced exclusively by the NYASS/Rapid Growth Media crew.
