GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WZZM) -- The name Brad Boyink might not yet ring a bell, but lakeshore residents likely remember a synchronized light show he created. The Holiday Road light show ran from 2006 to 2012. The display was retired in part because it attracted too many gawkers.

The shows' end, though, led to the invention of a product you may want on your tree this holiday season.

After retiring the light show, Boyink has been working on a product, using skills learned from programming the elaborate light show. "How do I take that experience of what people had outside and bring it into the family living room?" he asked himself.

So far, he's created a company called GeekMyTree and begun selling a product he calls Animated GlowBalls. Boyink says he's bringing tree lighting into the 21st century. "You can go from box to tree and plug it in, and have a show in ten minutes or less," he said.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WZZM) -- With snow on the way, Grand Haven city leaders are considering changes to the parking rules.

Those changes could include odd/even restrictions on overnight parking in neighborhoods on the north side of the city.

Our partner the Grand Haven Tribune reports the area being considered for the new rules is north of the Pennoyer-Howard line and west of US-31.

Neighborhoods in that area have limited off-street parking.

For now, the public safety department has been asked not to approve any more overnight parking exceptions.

GRAND HAVEN, Mich. (WZZM) -- Gale force winds and 13-foot waves are making it dangerous along the lakeshore in Grand Haven.

And that's just how kite boarder Steve Novak says he likes it.

"Absolutely," he says. "I'm like a kid on Christmas morning."

Novak says there are only a few days during the year when the wind is blowing and the waves are pounding. He says he likes to get his kiteboard and take advantage of the opportunity.

"You need wind and waves for kiteboarding," he explains. "The higher the winds the better."

Photographer David Keller says he is often with Novak when he is out challenging nature with his kiteboard. Keller records video to post on YouTube.
