3. Horrocks now has a new location in Battle Creek.
It's inside Lakeview Square Mall where the old JC Penney used to be. Horrocks was on Capital Avenue in downtown Battle Creek for more than 20 years. But they say the move into the mall gives them more space, plus they're closer to the highway.
Earlier this week they held a soft opening, and the store is now open every day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
4. Paws, Claws, and Corks was a huge success this year for the Humane Society of West Michigan.
For the first time in five years, the event exceeded the fundraising goal hitting more than $201,000.
That money will directly support the mission to promote the humane treatment and responsible care of animals in West Michigan through education, example, placement, and protection as a donor-funded nonprofit organization.
