Honor. Celebrate. Support. Join Us for a Special Independence Day Edition of the Ortonville Farmers Market
On July 5, 2007, Army Pfc. Joseph A. Miracle—a Brandon High School graduate—made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Now, 18 years later, the Ortonville Downtown Development Authority invites you to join us in honoring his legacy through action, remembrance, and community.
This Saturday, June 29, the Ortonville Farmers Market will host a Miracle Box Packing Party at the historic Old Mill Museum in collaboration with the Ortonville Community Historical Society and Desert Angel. The packing party is part of a full day of special events to celebrate Independence Day and pay tribute to Pfc. Miracle’s memory.
