2. For those headed to the Grand Rapids Auto Show this weekend, keep an eye out for two teenage artists, painting a car!

It's all part of Care On Canvas, a program that partners with Helen Devos Children’s Hospital, Mary Free Bed, and Make-A-Wish to give children fighting cancer and other diseases the chance to experience joy through art.

Aaron and Kendall are both 15 years old and they have already started working on their piece. Make sure to come to check out what they're doing and show your support.

3. If you bank with Bank Of America, you can get into some local museums for free this weekend. It's part of the company's Museums On Us program and it happens the first full weekend of each month.

On both Saturday and Sunday, you'll be able to check out the Grand Rapids Public Museum and the Grand Rapids Art Museum. Just make sure to bring your credit or debit card, along with a photo ID.

Those two museums are the only ones included in the program in West Michigan, but if you're headed to the east side of the state there are several in the Detroit Area.
