For those of you collecting and organizing your fireworks - the horses and farm hands in Harbor Springs ask for your major caution and restraint - we have had rain so Emmet County allows fireworks this year - but because we have long and tall grasses - we have a lot of dry stems - and tops - so wildfires can occur.

The bang noises and scares all occur - so likes dogs and cats - our horses are fearful - so please use caution and restraint in our neighborhoods - thank you, Brek-n-Ridge Farm just east of the Otis Inn.
