BridgeFest
On Labor Day each September we host BridgeFest at the Mighty Mackinaw Bridge in Mackinaw City, Michigan. Everyone tries to arrive by Friday evening for a meet and greet and dinner at a local restaurant. On Saturday we get together for sight seeing and fun.
In 2007, we took ferries from Mackinaw City to Mackinaw Island for a fun horse drawn carriage ride along the quaint cobblestone streets along the lake and through the woods. Mackinaw Island is an amazing place that is great for people of all ages. There are wonderful restaurants and amazing homemade fudge. The only mode of transportation on the island is by horse-drawn carriages, bikes or walking.
On Sunday we have planned activities during the day and in the even we all get together for a Foundation hosted dinner for all of the participants. Early Monday morning (6 am) we head out to our National LeioMyoSarcoma Foundation booth, which is at the end of the bridge walk. Some of us walk the 5 mile walk accross the bridge in honor of all of our LMS friends. There are only 3 nonprofit organizations that are allowed to have booths at the bridgewalk. We have had a booth there now for 5 years. This is a wonderful time and opportunity for us to spend time together but more importantly, we hand out and share a lot of information about LMS to the general public. After the walk, we all enough an outdoor barbecue picnic.
