Party at the Pavilion on June 8, 2025
Friends of the Fred Meijer Heartland Trail (FFMHT) announce their annual fundraiser with a different twist. Instead of a dinner banquet, the volunteer Trail group is planning a Party at the Pavilion next to the Trail at 544 Forrest St, Edmore. The event is Sunday, June 8 from 1-3 pm. All current members, new members, and supporters are invited for a family friendly afternoon of free hot dogs (sponsored and grilled by The Stump Guy), Live Music, Door Prizes, Trail Merchandise, and the traditional Raffle Drawing. An optional ride or walk on the trail will conclude the party. All ages are welcome! Bring your generous support to purchase raffle and door prizes.

Raffle tickets can be purchased in advance or at the event for $5 each or 6 for $20. Contact Patty (989) 289-0095 or rockafellowp@gmail.com for more information. Need not be present to win.
