Annual Michigan Bunny Stomp - We raised $850!

luv2bowhunt · December 23, 2011, 12:05:00 AM

We will be holding the event on Saturday February 18th, 2012. It will be held at the same location as years past, Sleepy Hollow State Park. The park has graciously accepted our group again this year and will be giving us the use of the park Shelter for the day. The shelter includes a nice fireplace to help keep you old farts warm

The festivities will begin at 8:00 AM with target shooting, the iron bunny, and some general BS. We will then head out hunting the dangerous and ever elusive Cottontail Rabbits! At 12:00 PM we will convene back at the shelter for lunch followed by the raffle. This year the money raised from the raffle will be donated to the Devos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI. After the raffle you can hang out and BS, shoot the targets, head home for a nap, or head back out hunting.

Would you like to donate items to the raffle? We would love to have them!!

The official Michigan Bunny Stomp thread for more information and to post your raffle donations!

We will be doing the raffle a little different this year in an effort to speed things up a little bit. We will be limiting the amount of items raffled to around 30. We will NOT be limiting the total amount of items donated to that amount though! What we are planning on doing is taking some of the smaller items and raffling them off as a lot. In years past many people would get a bit bored and fidgety by the end of the raffle and we are just looking to help keep that from happening.

We are also looking for some participants to bring a dish to pass for the lunch.

Sounds like a good time! What's the cost to get in and cost of raffle tickets?

It is free to join in the fun! No cost for showing up and having a good time. If you can, bringing a dish to pass for lunch or adding an item to the raffle table would be appreciated, but is definitely not necessary.

The only cost will be to enter the park:

If you have the PARK passport when you registered with Secretary of State you are all set...If you do not have the park passport.Each vehicle will need to pay 10.00 for the state park passport at the park...There are no longer daily permits. The 10.00 passport is good for the whole year at any State Park in Michigan

You can still make the Bunny Stomp if you are going to the MLA banquet, we hold this event in the morning and the banquet is not until the evening... and Sleepy Hollow is not that far from Fowlerville :cool:
