 This year’s Mancelona Bass Festival Grand Parade was held June 2^nd.  Jordan River NFH displayed a fish stocking truck in the parade. 

This year’s float was staffed by volunteers.  Ray Puroll, his daughter Megan and long time hatchery volunteer Dan Sutherland did the hatchery proud, as they handed out candy to the many eager children. 

The truck is always popular.  This is the fourth year that the hatchery has participated.  The Village of Mancelona, The Bass Festival Committee and the public schools are all supporters and close friends of the hatchery.  Jordan River NFH staff and volunteers were glad to return the support.
