Take a look at eBay on any given day, and you’ll find thousands of once-beloved wedding gowns for sale. But there was a time when, instead of selling them to strangers, women packed their satin, lace, silk or tulle confections lovingly away for the future.

The events, sponsored by Heritage Nursing and Rehabilitation of Zeeland to benefit West Michigan’s Senior Sing-A-Long and Samaritan’s Carriage programs, are Thursday in Grand Rapids and Friday in Zeeland.

Officials have also planned an equally elaborate sporting calendar for the fist-first sports star this year. Vijender will join the national boxing coaching camp on October 15 in Patiala where a rigorous training schedule awaits him.

As part of his deal with Percept Talent Management, Vijender gets to pad his wallet by an amount that’s significantly more than most of the non-cricketing stars.
