Deer Ranch The Deer Ranch is the oldest live whitetail exhibit in North America. It opened in 1950. We have about 30 adult deer and 6-12 fawns each year.
(1515)

Guests can feed the deer for a nominal fee. In operation for 60 years, the Deer Ranch in Saint Ignace is the oldest whitetail exhibit in North America. Twenty-eight adult deer reside at the Deer Ranch, along with a number of fawns each spring. Get up close, take pictures, feed crackers/carrots/apples to the bucks and does, bottle feed the fawns, and create lasting memories! Just 4 miles West of the Mackinac Bridge!

Lily has no idea that any of this is happening. Tuesday she’s getting a special visit from all of the police departments here in town before she, her mom and Aunt head down to Devos.
We cannot express how thankful we are for every single person who took the time to share and tag all of the different LE departments.
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!

Good morning!
We have a small request.
This is Lily, the youngest grandbaby. You might have been lucky to get the door opened by her. This past winter she was diagnosed with a rare bone disease called Legg-Clave-Perthes disease. Basically the head of her femur died. She’s already had one surgery and spent 6 weeks in legs cast. Next Wednesday she’s going down to Devos for major bone surgery. She won’t be able to walk for 6 weeks and will be in casts again for 3 months this time.
Lily wants to be a police officer when she grows up. Her mom had the idea of police officers ending her some letters of encouragement and maybe a patch to help keep her spirits up while she’s bed bound.
If you know any police officers that would be willing to write a letter to her send them our way please!
