Thank you Sanford for an amazing day at the ball diamonds celebrating Sanford’s Sesquicentennial at our kickoff event, Lumberjack Picnic!

Today is the day! The kickoff event to finally celebrate Sanford’s Sesquicentennial!
Originally celebrations were planned for 2020 and well, let’s just say that was a heck of a year and everything had to be cancelled.

I am grateful to God for giving us a beautiful Michigan day today as we celebrate our heritage. We hope to see many of your smiling faces today!
