The Burt Lake Band hosted a successful fundraiser in August 2023, selling a traditional meal to the Pellston community in Northern Michigan. The meal featured frybread and corn soup, crafted from cherished recipes passed down through our families for generations.
Folks visited and sampled our authentic cultural meal, finding it so delightful that many purchased additional meals to share with their families at home. Our food stands as a meaningful part of our Ottawa and Chippewa heritage, and our team took great pride in presenting these genuine dishes to the community.
This effort proved fruitful in raising funds to sustain our office space and procure supplies for the cultural activities integral to our community. We are excited to announce plans for another fundraiser this year! Keep an eye on our website, Facebook page, or the newsletter email list for updates and further details.
Get ready, because we’re thrilled to announce that we’re doing it again in 2024! Save the dates – join us on Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, August 11, for a fantastic opportunity to savor a delightful meal while supporting our important fundraiser.
Mark your calendars now to ensure you don’t miss out on this fantastic chance to make a difference and indulge in some delicious treats. We can’t wait to have you with us for another memorable experience!
See you there!
