We build community when we share our stories - whether they be a memory, an experience or just simply telling what we think is great about this place. STORY MATTERS. is a story collecting project from The Rapidian and GRTV.
Lauren and Derek Sikkema, who live in Kentwood, Mich., took time out of their visit to Brewery Vivant's Wood-Aged Beer Fest to talk about the ways that Grand Rapids is changing and what they love about the local brew culture. They even reveal their favorites and how the food offered can sometimes dictate which brewery they visit.
You can see all the Story Matters videos archived at therapidian.org/placematters/story.
The Rapidian, a program of the 501(c)3 nonprofit Community Media Center, relies on the community’s support to help cover the cost of training reporters and publishing content.
We need your help.
If each of our readers and content creators who values this community platform help support its creation and maintenance, The Rapidian can continue to educate and facilitate a conversation around issues for years to come.
Please support The Rapidian and make a contribution today.
