To the editor:
We are pleased to extend a warm invitation to you for a special community event on June 1, 2025. Please join us at 2 p.m. at 1410 N. St. Helen Road, in the space between the Richfield Township Office Building and the Richfield Township Public Safety Building, for the official unveiling of “The Fish.”
This striking 6-foot Bluegill sculpture is being installed to represent the natural beauty and identity of the Richfield Township and St. Helen area, with a special nod to our beloved lake and outdoor heritage. It is the first of five unique sculptures to be placed throughout Roscommon County as part of the “Fresh Waters Trail” (also known as “The Loop”)—a new tourism initiative aimed at celebrating our local waters and attracting visitors to the region.
The sculpture was handcrafted by Bob Batchik of Sunfish Woodworks, based in Sylvan Lake, Michigan. Bob’s work is widely recognized for its artistry and craftsmanship, with other installations located in places such as private homes in St. Helen and a restaurant in Grayling.
