Help Local West MI Restaurants BEFORE they Reopen on Monday
Monday is a new day! After months of being closed and after months of waiting, restaurants and bars in Michigan are allowed to reopen; and before they do, you can play an instrumental role in helping them do so.
A FREE Friday evening event is being held at the English Hills Events Centers in Comstock Park. Many West Michigan restaurants will be at the Reheat Local Eats selling gift cards and residents are encouraged to stop by and purchase as many as they can or want to. The event will be held from 5:30p-8:00p and you can show up at any time. Some businesses will also have merchandise available for you to buy at their booth, and possibly food-to-go.
