2000 BLESSING OF THE BIKES

BALDWIN, MICHIGAN
County Airport

Always Sunday After Mother's Day

May 20th & 21st, 2000 (3rd Sat. & Sun. of May)
Gates Open: 9:00 a.m. BLESSING @ 1:00 p.m.
Sermon by: Father Joe Fix



After a week of rain I was worried about this year's Blessing, but God was good and spared us the hardship of trying to hold our bikes up in the mud.

It may or may not be Father Fix's last sermon. He stated that the Bishop has transferred him but he will be here "if not to do the Blessing, to receive it"! On a sad note, there were 3 people involved in a very serious accident in Irons, MI. Will find more information and post here.



It looked like EVERYONE was taking pictures. If you have some pictures that were outstanding and want them on the internet email them to me and I'll put as many as I can on:


The Blessing was @ 1:30 again this year. Not as many bikes left before the Blessing this year. For the ones who did, if you were worried about a long wait to leave, you shouldn't. They have an excellent exit plan and it moves really fast.



MORE TIPS
Wear a hat or have sunscreen (I learned the hard way)
Bring canteen or skins of water or pop (if it's hot you'll be thirsty)
Bring some cash! Cool Souveniers, if they're not sold out, food and drinks (non-alcoholic) Get there Early!
