3rd Annual Ride with Mike
Before Michael passed away in early August of 2023, he was home with his family in Maine for four days. When he was home, he promised his little brother that he would return for February vacation, and they would ride a snowmobile, particularly to Deboullie Mountain. Deboullie was one of Michael’s favorite places to go on his snowmobile. He loved the climb, the view, and the peacefulness. In his memory, we ride to the base of the mountain, have a meal, have speakers sharing stories of recovery, and have fun! Join us for a day of remembrance, recovery, and community:
- Snowmobile ride on the trail to the former Wallagrass School
- Meal and fellowship
- Stories of hope and recovery from local speakers
- Live music
- Raise awareness and support for those affected by addiction
Sponsored in part by the Fort Kent Lion’s Club
