GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WZZM) - A popular sculpture in Grand Haven is on display once again.

Workers moved the 'Lakes Edge' sculpture from the Department of Public Works to the boardwalk along the channel. It used to be in front of the old courthouse but was moved during construction of the new courthouse.

For the last three years, it was just sitting outside the Department of Public Works building.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WZZM)- Whipping winds, cool temperatures and really big waves - it is not what people spending the holiday on the lakeshore this weekend expected to experience. But that's what they found along the beach in Grand Haven Friday night. Braving the wind was challenging and the waves were unbelievable.

Camper Kristi Mercer said, "This is just unreal I've been coming to Grand Haven since I could barely walk and I've never seen the waves like this..never!"

Those camping in tents had a rough time keeping everything tied down and stable. The waves washed over the piers, creating great photo opportunities.

And then there are those who went out in the huge swells. Boogie boarder Scott Cogswell said, "You gotta know what you're doin.. uh.. there's a lot of people out there and they say oh that's dangerous or.. you shouldn't do that and so I've been doin it for a few years and I thought I'd try it."

OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. (WZZM)- Consumers Energy confirms 150 customers in the West Olive and Grand Haven areas of Ottawa County are without power.

The high winds along the lakeshore toppled some trees and damaging power lines. Service is expected to be restored to about 100 of those customers Friday night. The other 50 or so customers in the hardest hit areas may not have electricity until mid-day Saturday.

Consumers Energy says its crews are working as fast as possible to restore service.
