The upgrades are being funded by donations and community support.
Tonight's show will begin around 10 p.m.
4. 150,000 meals were packed up in just a few hours Wednesday thanks to the Heart of West Michigan United Way.
750 volunteers took part in the Food From the Heart event at Van Andel Arena, helping to make sure young people that would usually be eating at school still have access to nutritious food during summer break.
This is the fourth year they've done something like this, and United Way says it hopes to grow the event for next year.
To make that happen, even more volunteers and donors will have to get involved.
