CONCERT:  An Evening With 4 One Quartet

A freewill offering will be accepted. The concert is open to the public.
“4 ONE Quartet” is an all-male southern gospel group. The group’s name derives from four men who sing for ONE God. Their mission is to encourage, uplift and serve.
Rev. James Swanson of Grace Covenant Church said, “This concert is an extension of the Summer Concert Series now in its 16th season at Grace Covenant. Traditionally, these concerts have been held in our sanctuary, but the concerts have always been for the community, and with this wonderful facility available, we thought it time to bring the concert out into the community.
“It is our sincere hope that this concert be a blessing to many. We look forward to sharing an evening of fabulous quartet gospel music with everyone.”

Wetlands are nature’s most productive ecosystems, providing critical habitat more than 900 wildlife species and invaluable recreation opportunities for people to enjoy.

Tickets must be purchased prior to the banquet and are available from committee members including: Miner’s Harvest Jewelers, Saigh Insurance and the Gun Barn.

RUN FOR COLOR RIDE A SUCCESS:
Close to 80 people took part in the first Veterans “Run for the Colors” ORV Ride. The ride went from the Wakefield American Legion and into the west end of the Ottawa National Forest. The ride was a cooperative effort between the Upper Peninsula ORV Trail Development Association, Western UP Trails Association, Veterans Outdoor World, Lake States Resource Alliance, and the Wakefield American Legion.
Forty-eight off-road-vehicles participated in the ride. Many had passengers sit inside what the ORV industry calls, “side-by-sides.” The ride was made possible through the help of the Michigan DNR, Michigan DOT, and the Ottawa National Forest. With warm temperatures, sunshine and the fall colors at peak, organizers of the event claim the ride was a huge success.
Participating in the ride was Michigan State Senator Tom Casperson, and Michigan State Representative Scott Dianda.
