New murals add color to Waterfront Stadium

The end of Washington Avenue is now more colorful thanks in part to the installation of new artwork on the back of the Waterfront Stadium bleachers. The Grand Haven Main Street Downtown Development Authority Preservation Committee recently installed murals on the back of the bleachers. The images came from historic postcards from the late 1800s and early 1900s that depict scenes from the Grand Haven community. "Our goal is to keep it up year-round,' said Dana Kollewehr, the authority's executive director.

Complete with a John Deere Gator, a Bobcat leveling skid and a few shovels, Patterson and some coaching friends who shared his vision of an outdoor pole vaulting competition worked on trying to level off the sand at the Grand Haven City Beach until 1:30 a.m. When their challenge still wasn't completed the next day - the morning of the event - the crew were fortunate enough to track down a local worker on the beach with a front-end loader.
