Put away your old school snowmobile suit and your pretzel necklaces. The annual Winter Beer Festival has thrown in the keg for February 27.
The event, which takes place at Fifth Third Park, has been forced to cancel due to the coronavirus.
In the interest of health and safety in the continued wake of COVID-19, the Michigan Brewers Guild has made the sad decision to cancel its upcoming Winter Beer Festival scheduled for Saturday, February 27 at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park.

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan In the interest of health and safety in the continued wake of COVID-19, the Michigan Brewers Guild has made the sad decision to cancel its upcoming Winter Beer Festival scheduled for Saturday, February 27 at Fifth Third Ballpark in Comstock Park.
“While this is yet another disappointment, with the new vaccines now being administered, we are looking forward to a more normal year later in 2021,” says Scott Graham, MBG Executive Director. “We thank you for your understanding and wish all of you a safe, healthy and Happy New Year!”
If you’re wanting to go see the ‘Christmas Lites Show’ at the Fifth Third Ballpark this year, just know that in a year where we can’t do much, this has become the thing everyone seems to be doing this year.
WOODTV talked with Bill Schrader who created the ‘Christmas Lites Show’ twenty-two years ago as a simple display powered by generators. This year, just on a Friday night, he expects to see around 1,000 vehicles pass through the light show. He told WOODTV that people have been waiting up to a couple of hours to drive through the 50 animated displays and more than 1 million lights that make up the ‘Christmas Lite Show’.

Getting A COVID-19 Vaccine at Meijer?
Let s see, my grocery list, hmm, lettuce, carrots, bread, milk, chicken, soup and, oh yes, COVID vaccine. That may sound pretty far fetched, but it s not. Soon this year you ll be able to get a COVID vaccination from a Meijer pharmacy.
Fox17 reports that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is partnering with several pharmacies across the nation to make sure the vaccine is available to as many people as possible and Meijer is one of those partners.
I don t doubt that someday you ll be able to get the vaccine in their stores at the pharmacy, but during this rollout time, Meijer says it is looking at locations to create large spaces to administer the vaccine. Flu shot clinics this fall were held in sports arenas and outdoor spaces to accommodate social distancing guidelines. Meijer coordinated clinics at Comerica Park in Detroit, and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. What do you think, maybe VanAndel Arena in downtown Grand Rapids,
