You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There’s still lots of good in the world.

Try Magnet Fishing
For many people, fishing is a common hobby during Labor Day Weekend. The Grand River is a perfect site for fishing and more recently popular: magnet fishing. Using strong magnets, you can lure metallic treasures that were lost along the bottom of large bodies of water. Just make sure to do so carefully and turn in any dangerous or suspicious items to your local police.
Listen to a local band
Looking for some new music to listen to during your Labor Day weekend travels? Grand Rapids-based For the Universe releases its self-title record at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4. The heavy metal band’s new record will be available to download and stream through the Bandcamp app.
Watch Movies in the Park
Celebration Cinema is hosting Sunset Cinema at Studio Park throughout the month of September. This Friday, Sept. 4 through Wednesday, Sept. 9, the film “Arrival” will be featured. When mysterious spacecraft land across the globe, expert translator Louise Banks (Amy Adams) is sent to decipher their intent. As tensions mount, Banks discovered the aliens’ true purpose and, to avert global war, takes a chance that could threaten humanity. “Arrival,” released in 2016, also stars Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker.

Fun fact: Chocolate Holidays
We love the delectable taste of chocolate so much that we have national holidays surrounding this treat. This month we celebrate three chocolate holidays: Sept. 12 is National Chocolate Milkshake Day, Sept. 13 is International Chocolate Day, and Sept. 22 is White Chocolate Day, which really isn’t chocolate, but hey, we’re fine with that. Time to go buy some chocolate!
