Getting closer to our favorite season

☘️ And so it begins! Four days of Mad Mark’s Green Dream Team keeping the Michigan Irish Music Festival clean. 🗑️ Where else can you walk around, get exercise, socialize and hear great bands with cool accents from Ireland for free (if you volunteer with us)?! 🇮🇪 Thanks to Mark and all our volunteers who help raise money through this and other events to help purchase equipment and keep our ice fees lower. 🍀

It is very difficult to plan the tight finances of the WMSC season. Mark put out a survey via e-mail a couple of weeks ago asking who would be participating (and therefore paying) for the upcoming season. He got very few responses. Please go back to that email and respond to it. Or just contact Mark directly to let him know if you are planning to join us or not join us again this season. Do not respond via this page as he does not partake in FB.

☘️ MICHIGAN IRISH MUSIC FESTIVAL ☘️ is one of your WMSC’s biggest fundraisers. It helps keep our ice fees lower, give discounts to kids and buy more loaner equipment. You can help by volunteering. The work is EASY and FUN. We walk around, checking to see if trash barrels are full. But REALLY we are there to get exercise, listen to good music, and socialize with our skate buddies. We still have some volunteer slots available. See Mark’s email dated 8/30/26 and contact him with your availability. Thanks!

Mark, Tom , Amanda and Lena introduced some Muskegonites to speed skating at tonight’s Touch The Truck event with the help of Mark’s 1980’s VCR player and Amanda’s Design-A-Skin Suit activity bag. Most people stopped by for the candy and bubbles, but we may have a few interested kids join us in October.
