Freedom Festival - July 4, 2009
I encourage everybody to take part in this year's festivities. Last year was my first year attending the events, and I had an absolutely wonderful time. The parade was a great start to the day, and the fireworks show was spectacular. Roscommon's Freedom Festival really is one of the premier small town events in the state.
More information.......
"The Roscommon Freedom Festival Parade and Fireworks will be on tap Saturday, July 4th! Jim & Laura Witt, the Roscommon Fireworks Committee and Sponsors have, once again, worked tirelessly to bring to our community a spectacular fireworks display for the upcoming July 4th celebration. This year's display will be bigger and better than last year! Fireworks and music will start at 10:15 p.m. You can tune in to 104.3 FM for a live broadcast! There will be food and children's games beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Roscommon Fire Training Grounds.
The Freedom Festival Committee will be organizing the July 4th parade, which will kick off in the Village at 11:00 a.m. This year's theme is "Village of Dreams". Pre-registration is required and it is FREE. Forms may be picked up at the Higgins Lake-Roscommon Chamber of Commerce Tuesday - Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Immediately following the parade stop by the Gazebo at the CRAF Center for a musical and ice cream social hosted by Soul’s Harbor Worship Center.

Adopt-a-Forest Clean-Up Day
On Wednesday, May 27th, Huron Pines and the Village of Roscommon coordinated an Adopt-a-Forest Clean-Up Day. We received help from Home Depot, AmeriCorps, the Michigan DNR, and an area resident. Here are some photos of the rainy, yet successful event. Thanks to all the help, several major sites of garbage/trash/debris were cleaned up throughout Roscommon County, including some garbage along Tank Creek in the Village.

2009 Small Town & Rural Development Conference
I attended the Small Town & Rural Development Conference in Thompsonville the past 2 days. This conference is extremely beneficial as it is solely dedicated to small, rural communities such as Roscommon. I learned a lot, and was able to network with other small town managers, economic directors, chamber of commerce members, university employees, and a lot of other professionals from around the state. Below is a link to the conference & session materials:
