Raffle Ticket sales are essential to the success of benifiting the non-profit charitys chosen for this years event - only $5 each and available at Sportsman's Bar and other local business throughout downtown Newaygo, Mi.









Be sure to plan a visit to The Stream (downtown Newaygo) to see the art on display for the 2014 Troutfest Exhibition featuring selected students from Newaygo public schools, grades K through 12th.  Here is a "sneak peek":
