Happy Father's Day to all the dads, grandpas, stepdads, and father figures in our community. From bike rides through Millennium Park to grabbing Hudsonville Ice Cream or firing up the backyard grill, it's often the simple moments together that leave the biggest impression. Thank you for the encouragement, steady support, and care you give to your families and our community.
We hope you have a wonderful Father's Day!

Juneteenth marks an important chapter in our nation's history. It's a reminder that freedom has not always been experienced equally or at the same time. Taking time to learn about the past and reflect on it helps us build a stronger community for the future.
To learn more about the history and significance of Juneteenth, visit the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History & Culture: https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/what-juneteenth

Happy Juneteenth!
