Holland in Photos: The Bridge on Eighth Street

HOLLAND — Over the past few weeks, we've used our new Monday edition to showcase the locals who make our reporting possible.

To accommodate shifting deadlines, we'll move our new "Holland in Photos" product to Fridays, where freelance photographer Adam Vander Kooy will highlight the extra-ordinary happenings of your neighbors and local businesses.

This week, Vander Kooy spent time at The Bridge (18 W. Eighth St.) — a fair trade store in downtown Holland.
