Only 13 more days until Kalamazoo’s 50th birthday bash, and the MC has a lot planned! We’re hoping that you’ll join us for as many of the events as you can. Read this post to know what’s happening!

Kalamazoo 2014
Kalamazoo 49. The whirlwind, the inspiration, the dance. My face still hurts from smiling.
