Accounting and advisory firm Rehmann teamed up with the Detroit Red Wings and named Charlie Grech the winner of the 2026 "Tradition of Success" art contest, and he's skating away with a $5,000 prize.
His winning piece, "Wings of Time", celebrates the team's 100-year legacy with a fast-moving, visually striking tribute to iconic moments and venues like Olympia Stadium. Grech will be honored during a Red Wings home game with his artwork on display at Little Caesars Arena.
He has also landed in the top ten spots over the last two years of this competition. Congratulations, Charlie!
Black River Railroad construction volunteers needed
The Michigan Flywheelers Museum is entering the final stretch of a three-year project to build the Black River Railroad, and they need you help to finish!
This outdoor track will loop around the museum's 80-acre grounds in South Haven, taking passengers past historic exhibits like the 1920s farm town and the working sawmill. The museum is calling on volunteers of all ages to help lay the final tracks for this 15" gauge railroad before its scheduled completion this fall.
An informational meeting for interested volunteers is set for Saturday, April 11 at the museum grounds. Once finished, the permanent attraction will allow families to ride behind a grand scale steam locomotive to experience the sights and sounds of a bygone era.
