Guess Who's Back? ... Guess Who's Back? ... Guess Who's Back?

It's that time again for West Michigan's 2nd Trade Event


After the success of  the 1st event, we went back to the local restaurant where it all began and came up with this year's theme.

Summer Solstice



This event will once again be held at Huizenga Park in Zeeland, MI

Save the date: Saturday June 19th - 10am to 2pm




A map can be found here.
A link to the park website can be found here.

Huizenga Park is handicap accessible,
and is a great place to go for families.
The park includes:
basketball courts
beach volleyball courts
a baseball diamond
a fishing pond
a large skate park
a childrens play area called "Timbertown"
pavillions and restrooms

------------------------------------------------

There are around 140 caches within 5 miles of this park, including new caches that will be placed for this event.

Holland State Park is only about 10 miles away.

Downtown Holland is less than 5 miles away.

Holland has MANY great parks, and most (if not all) have caches in or near them. Check out a list of city parks here

Zeeland is the kind of small town everyone likes to call "small town America". It's a great place to be in.
There are several small shops and restaurants in their Main Square, and Many small parks, nice walkways, and picnic areas throughout the area.

Lastly, Ottawa County has many parks, and nearly the entire list is occupied with caches. Here is a link to the Ottawa County Park site.
