Spey Fest 2019 has been cancelled -

Due to circumstances beyond our control I have decided to cancel our 2019 Spey Fest.
On August 26th, 2019, I was informed by the manager of Henning Park that the rest room facilities and water supply in proximity to our event were closed for the remainder of the season due to maintenance issues.
I have explored portable toilets, hand sanitation stations and water options. Due to logistics, security, risk, and close proximity to the Muskegon River, I have not been able to solve this issue to my comfort level.
I cannot nor will not invite anglers to an event hosted by my business without these basic comforts.
This has not been an easy decision, but one I feel I must make for the best interest of our guests any my business.
Please address any questions to myself, Glen Blackwood

Kathleen and I, as well as our staff have appreciated your interest and support of this event in the past.
