Howdy Folks! If you are not able to travel to California for the annual gathering this year, some Mitten Family are putting together a local get-together in the Michigan woods. To be clear, this is not a protest gathering, nor an alternate annual, just some regional family getting together who can’t make it all the way west. All rainbows are welcome and we’d love to see you in the woods!
