Westwood Little League fundraiser to replace scoreboard and fence
A local little league needs your help after an act of arson caused thousands of dollars in damage.
Westwood Little League says two portable restrooms were intentionally set on fire on the afternoon of July 8, causing significant damage to fencing and the scoreboard. No injuries were reported, but league officials say repairs could top $10,000, and none of it is covered by insurance.
The league serves more than 500 local kids each year and has launched a fundraiser to cover the cost of repairs. While their goal has been exceeded, members of the community are still invited to help. If you'd like to contribute, search "Westwood Little League" on zeffy.com to donate.

Rural Heritage Show in Kalamazoo County
You can step back in time at Kalamazoo County's Summer Rural Heritage Show this weekend! The Scotts Olde Tyme Power and Equipment Association hosts its annual event Friday and Saturday from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M. at Scotts Mill County Park.

The show itself is free, but Kalamazoo County Parks' $5 daily vehicle entry fee still applies. For more information, go to scottstractorshow.org.
GRPL survey available for library hours
The Grand Rapids Public Library is asking the community to weigh in on a new library hours survey! From now through July 25, you can help shape operating hours at all eight city-wide locations.
It's a fresh look at the library's schedule, which hasn't changed much in over 20 years, to better match how folks live and learn today.
GRPL wants to be clear: this is about growth and innovation, not budget cuts - no layoffs, no closures, just smarter hours. Head to grpl.org to take the survey.
