2013 United Way Day of Caring at Muskegon County Fairgrounds

County Commissioner Susie Hughes and 

Muskegon County Clerk Nancy Waters

delivering water to the many great volunteers.

This event sponsored By United Way of the Lakeshore

brought volunteers of all ages, from all walks of life and even

from neighboring communities to the 

Muskegon County Fairgrounds.

It was hard work and great fun!!

For some it was their first experience at the Muskegon County Fairgrounds, but I am sure it won't be their last. 

This day gave Muskegon residents a rare chance to not only support a County Facility, but to feel the pride of ownership in it.

I know I have added a lot of picture of the event, but it was so fabulous my camera rarely cooled off.

Thank you to all that help make this day a wonderful success.
