The Opening Ceremony

Your enjoyment of Heritage Days starts at the gate, where you will be
assisted with parking and given a Gander Mountain bag for your
"goodies". Along the driveway, your next stop will be the
registration desk.
Admission and parking are both free as are many of the events, with
some requiring the purchase of tickets. Walk along and plan on
starting early for a fun-filled day at Huron Pointe.
Now, Let the Fun Begin!
