GREENVILLE, Mich. (THE GREENVILLE DAILY NEWS)-- Temps broke the 100-degree mark this week.

More than 9,000 Montcalm County residents were without power after a Thursday morning windstorm.

The annual Montcalm County 4-H Fair took place amid some of the hottest weather anyone can remember. Special plans had to be made to make sure youths and animals stayed hydrated.

A major Greenville business was destroyed in a fire that took 75 firefighters from 11 fire departments to extinguish - plus a weeklong investigation by a federal agency.

But Montcalm County's snow cone machine remains unused.

Montcalm County received a $900 Arctic Blast Sno-Cone machine last year as part of a grant from the Michigan Homeland Security Program.
