MESICK â Even as large festivals and events scheduled to be held months from now in this area recently have been called off, organizers of the annual Mesick Jeep Blessing are holding firm in their plan to go ahead with the popular gathering on May 1.
Starting out as a handful of Jeep enthusiasts who would take to the trails outside Mesick following a short prayer at a local church, the Jeep Blessing has grown into one of Northern Michiganâs largest events, featuring a blessing, bands, vendors, and multiple off-road courses.
Founder and event organizer Deb Stafford said they're confident that the 20-30 acres of property where they host the Jeep Blessing will be more than adequate to handle the crowd that normally turns out for the event, although she's uncertain what turnout will end up being this year, considering everything that is going on.
