Winners of county parks’ ‘Hike & Hug’ announced

The winners were announced Tuesday, and all 30 couples who participated were also e-mailed a commemorative photo.

The winners are: Todd and Lisa DeVries, a weekend at the Boyden House; Suzanne and Michael Moynihan, a couple’s massage from Wendy Schwiefler; Michelle and Austin Harris, gift certificates to Jack’s at the Holiday Inn; Kathryn Remlinger and Robert Bell, free snowshoe rental with a hot beverage at the Nature Education Center; Cinthia and Ray Reenders, wine from the Hudsonville Winery; James Dornbos and Alissa VanDenBerge, a limited-edition Grand River Greenway puzzle; Dan and Dawn Michaels, chocolates from Meijer; and Molly and Andy Brown, a free 2012 Ottawa County Parks pass.

The event was part of a year-long celebration of the progress toward creating a public greenway across Ottawa County along the Grand River. Next month’s event will feature concurrent art exhibits in Grand Haven, at the Uptown Gallery and the Tri-Cities Historical Museum, with art inspired by the Grand River.
