GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- You did not have to be Ben Stiller to enjoy a night at the museum Monday.

The Grand Rapids Public Museum hosted its annual "Night at Your Museum" event.

For $20 per person, guests watched people dressed as medieval knights dueling with swords and others in Civil War regalia marching and dancing.

The idea is to have museum exhibits come alive as an exciting way to educate guests.

"We have families here having a wonderful evening together, having dinner, being able to listen to the organ, seeing the planetarium in action," says Chris Carron, the museum's director of education. "It's a wonderful way that history really comes alive here at the museum."

This is the fifth year for the event.

From the city of Grand Rapids - To assist you in the post-holiday cleanup, the City of Grand Rapids Streets and Sanitation Department is again offering FREE Christmas tree recycling.

Free Christmas tree recycling will be available at the following drop-off areas: Riverside Park (north entrance), 2001 Monroe Ave., NE and JC Family Park at 2531 Kalamazoo Ave., SE, during the month of January, 2010. Make sure all ornaments, other decorations, tinsel, nails and tree stands are removed from the tree prior to recycling. Remember to remove any plastic bags from around the tree prior to drop off.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) -- A Grand Rapids community got an early Christmas gift Friday, one that will help keep people healthy.

"I've been giddy at just how exciting it is.  Sometimes I have to walk through and pinch myself just to know that it is real," said Helen Lehman, board chair of Catherine's Health Center on Leonard and Lafayette in Grand Rapids.

Friday the center unveiled a new 6,800 facility.  Catherine's Health Center is a non profit clinic that provides services to low income and mostly uninsured residents on the city's northeast side.

For the past 15 years they've operated the clinic in a very cramped space in the basement of St. Alphonsus Church.  During which time the need for services has grown tremendously.
