The 411 in the 616: I Love Autumn

It’s officially starting to feel like Fall in Grand Rapids with cooler temperatures and leaves starting to change color. A huge thank you to those who helped me on Instagram find white pumpkins over the weekend for my front step. If you’re wondering where to find white pumpkins head to Horrock’s, Trader Joe’s or the Fulton Street Farmers Market! There are some awesome events going on this week so don’t miss out the 411 in the 616 and enjoy this autumn season.
