Fluffy Snow Adds to Challenge for Broom Ball Players

Mackinac Island Winter Festival

With brooms in hand, Mackinac Island adults team up against one another in broom ball play during Winter Festival activities Saturday, February 6, at Great Turtle Park. The bright fluorescent green softball occasionally was lost in the light, fluffy surface snow, adding to the challenge of the sport.
