The Arts:  Opened in 2002, the Dogwood Center offers West Michigan a unique entertainment venue not usually found in less-populated areas such as this county of 44,000.  This state-of-the-art facility features a 400-seat main theatre with additional performance and meeting space in the flexible theater; however, mere words and pictures cannot compare to the actual experience of waling inside this newly completed structure.
