1. Several inches of snow couldn't kill the Halloween spirit along the lakeshore. Muskegon, Muskegon Heights, and North Muskegon have all rescheduled trick-or-treating to this Saturday, November 4 from 6-8 p.m.
The cities canceled the holiday fun because of several inches of heavy snowfall. Many families were without power for much of the week. Consumers and other energy companies say they will have everything back on by then, so let the trick-or-treating commence!
2. After the trick-or-treating is over, if you find yourself with leftover Halloween candy that you don't want to end up in your stomach, you can give it to Sobie Meats!
The Michigan meat company is accepting donations of all leftover Halloween candy.
They're collecting it for the North Kent / Ottawa County Mothers to send overseas to military forces who can't be here to enjoy the holiday.
They'll be accepting candy donations until next week.
3. Now that it's November, it's clearly time to start thinking about Christmas! That's what Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter John Berry is doing anyway.
He's bringing his "Christmas with John Berry" 27th Annual Christmas Tour to Michigan, performing in Hastings and Fremont on December 8 and 9.
John Berry takes pride in bringing a fresh new tour to his fans, while performing popular classics like "Little Drummer Boy," "O Come All Ye Faithful," "Let It Snow," "Mary Did You Know," and his timeless hit, "O Holy Night."
Tickets are on sale now, just head to johnberry.com/tour.
4. Celebrate Grand Rapids culture and music history tonight - with AllArtWorks and the Grand Rapids African American Museum.

Guests will learn about the history of the building and the epic stories behind the shows featuring some of the biggest names in jazz and blues.
