1. Two entrepreneurs from West Michigan are now selling their college dream. The two were classmates at Hope College and are now co-founders of an underwater drone business.
The project started as a kickstarter more than two years ago, but it's now available for immediate sale. It's called The Fathom One, and it's a wireless robot with an HD camera that will let people explore the sea rather than the sky.
The pair say they were inspired by a story about horse drawn sleds falling through the ice up north in the winter, and wanted to try to find them.
2. Need to tell Santa about one of those drones? The KROC Center will have Cookies With Santa from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday.
They'll have snacks, a selfie station, an opportunity to write a letter to the North Pole, and of course, picture time with Santa himself! No registration is required.
The event is free for members and only $1 per person for non-members.
3. There's less than two weeks until Christmas, and AAA is releasing it's annual holiday travel forecast.

They cost less than $20, but they're already sold out! KFC is now working to restock them.
