Episode #1112 - May 28th, 2020
Things are starting to open back up, and one of those places is Wellfield Botanic Gardens. As the weather is warming up it's time to get out on the water and one way to do that is by renting a canoe or kayak. Depending on your age, you might remember "Choose Your Own Adventure" books. A group of 3 Chiropractors came together to bring a national program called "Windows of Hope" to the SW Michigan area.

    A group of 3 Chiropractors came together to bring a national program called "Windows of Hope" to the SW Michigan area. The program asks local businesses to decorate their windows with positive messages. But Dr Tara and Dr. Sandy tell us how they decided to take it up a notch and create a scavenger hunt. You can go take pictures of the windows and post them for a chance to win gift cards and other prizes. It's a great way to support the local businesses.
