Moon Festival is a traditional holiday celebrated each year all across China with family and friends (much like our Thanksgiving). Come celebrate with us at Wei Wei Palace restaurant. We will be eating there at 2:00 pm which means we will be enjoying Dim Sum–mmmm!

Dim Sum is a traditional Cantonese lunch where they come by each table with a cart of hot dishes and you can choose what looks good to you. Every now and again the cart comes by again with new fresh offerings to tempt you. It’s a fun way to eat a Chinese meal, and Wei Wei Palace is one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in Grand Rapids.

Please RSVP with the following form if you plan to attend.

P.s. There is an Asian market next door, that has everything from frozen dumplings and wooden steamers to ceramic rice bowls and Asian spoons, and it’s much cheaper than buying these things at your local grocery store.

Day: Saturday, October 10

When: 2:00 pm

Where: Wei Wei Palace Restaurant– on Division just North of 44th on the East side of the street

Early Fall is a great time to just get out and enjoy the last of the fading summer weather (well, maybe we’ve been enjoying this longer than normal this year). So this event is just an informal get-together at Fallasburg Park in Lowell.

We plan to meet at 2:00 pm and let the kids play on the main play structure together, and maybe walk down to the river after some playing. Fallasburg Park has some great walking/hiking trails, a beautiful creek that feeds into the river and picnic areas, if you so choose.Come join us! We hope to see you there.

Day: Saturday, September 19

When: 2:00 p.m.

Where: Fallasburg Park main play structure (drive straight ahead after entering Fallasburg Park Drive and do not turn right or left onto the other roads that connect to it. You’ll come to a stone arch to a parking lot on your right. Keep going about 100 feet and you will come to the main play structure on your right).
