Just got off the phone with county parks, the pavilions are first come first serve IF they are not yet reserved. You need to call the day before the actual date and ask if a pavilion in open..



Forget about reserving one, unless you want to spend up words of 75 to 100+ dollars..

The amount you indicate is typical for pavilion reservations. If I remember correctly, most, if not all, will be refunded if the pavilion/area is cleaned up afterwards.

Thanks, I'm planning to attend but I wont know for sure until later this month.

BTW, I have some wood here at the house you can have if you want it. I had a dead limb break off a month or so ago on a windy night. It's oak but I don't know how well it will burn.

FYI, Richfield park is part of the Genesee County Parks and they has this in their rules:

http://www.geneseecountyparks.org/pdf/park_rules.pdf

"Section XXV – Firearms
For purposes of these rules, the term “firearm” shall include any revolver, pistol, shotgun, rifle, air rifle, air gun, water gun, slingshot, BB gun or any gun, rifle, firearm or bow or other device which is designed to discharge projectiles or are models or facsimiles of these devices, which appear to be capable of doing so.

No person shall possess or control any firearm (except those as permitted by MCL 28.421 et seq) upon properties administered by or under the jurisdiction of the Commission, except by prior written permission of the Commission or as allowed by the Commission from time to time in designated areas.
No person shall discharge any firearm upon property administered by or under the jurisdiction of the Commission except by prior written permission of the Commission or as allowed by the Commission from time to time in designated areas.

This section shall not apply to any law enforcement officer acting in the course of his/her official duties."

So the
rules state no firearms EXCEPT CPL are allowed unless you get written permission.

Covered by preemption. We need to address it to have it removed, but it would not prevent a gathering.

This has been covered by me. This is their rewrite (No person shall possess or control any firearm (except those as permitted by MCL 28.421 et seq) This means we are ok to carry. Because we are covered under MCL 28.421.



I know it is a strange way to say it but that was the Counties Genesee and Lapeers legals said it.

You certainly prosue it more for clarification.
