Thank you to all who came out on Sunday! It was a wonderful day and we appreciate all the performers, sponsors, community tables, volunteers, and attendees who supported it!

In closing, we’d like to recognize local HS student, Eli Krach, who created this wonderful community banner that everyone could add to.

Eli says, “I made a submission because I wanted to challenge myself. It looked like fun and it was cool to make a logo that people in the community would see. This seems like a great event that people everywhere can rally around.”

The goats were named!! 😍😍

NAME THE GOATS!!

If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em! Meet Rockford’s invasive removal specialists! Thanks to a grant from Trout Unlimited, the Rockford Sustainability-Michigan organization is working on removing the many invasive plants that have invaded the trail along the Rogue River by the Rockford Dog Park. Alysia Babcock (aka The Garden Guru) has volunteered her two goats to help. They will be munching away behind a portable electric fence several days a week. Stop by to say hello, but no petting allowed while they are working!

Alysia is looking for some help naming her new friends. Join them at their booth at the first-ever CommUNITY Festival to meet our four-legged friends and participate in the Name the Goats Contest!
