Mason Optimist Youth Sports Day 2025

The Mason Youth Sports Day will be held Sunday, August 10 from 11am-3pm at Burchfield Park, Holt, MI.
The Mason Optimist Club, whose motto is “Friend of Youth,” is holding its summer youth sports day auction fundraiser. Each year the Mason Optimist Club uses its summer auction as one of its fundraising events. All funds raised in the auction will be used to award scholarships to deserving 2026 Mason High School and Wilson Talent Center graduates. The Mason Optimist Club anticipates awarding over $15,000 to graduating seniors in May of 2026. Please help the Mason Optimist Club help the youth in our community by bidding generously in our summer auction. Buy a gift for someone or buy a gift for yourself!

Come and ride in a John Deere combine and watch with amazement as the 2025 crop is being harvested. Spend time with a real farmer and learn how this beast of a machine operates with ease across the fruited plain. Enjoy this experience, courtesy of Nammack Farms in the controlled climate of the spacious cab as a year's worth of sweat, blood and financial risk comes to fruition. Don't forget to bring a snack for the operator as the days are long and his lunch bucket has been empty since 10:00 am. Good Luck and Thank You for your support of the Mason Optimist Club.
