[Original post] April 18th, join the Michigan Chapter of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers at Right Brain Brewery in Traverse City for our Boardman River Pint Night: a conversation with representatives of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission about the future of native fish in the Boardman River watershed. Our Saturday conversation will focus on the Great Lakes Fishery Commission’s FishPass project, which will replace the failing Union Street Dam in Traverse City with a new system that will allow native lake trout and sturgeon to pass while blocking invasive species like sea lamprey.

Happy Easter! 🌸 Whether you're hunting for eggs or simply enjoying the day, we’re here for you from 12–6pm as usual. Swing by and make your Easter extra special! We'll have the traditional Easter Pizza, as well as our traditional Friendly Flippers, an amateur pinball tournament for people who love pinball but hate pressure, starting at noon. 🐇 What’s your favorite Easter tradition? #HappyEaster

Step right up, pinball wizards! We’ve got seven weeks of Saturday morning pinball fun and competition for anyone 16-and-under. Our Junior Pinball Tournament tees off at 11am with head-to-head matchups, a random game draw, and double elimination action, ensuring every player gets a second chance. Come ready to adapt, compete, and flip your way to the top. Can’t make it all seven weeks? No problem. Each week is a new chance to test your skills, meet new people, and win! 11AM Saturdays April 4-May 16

Get ready to drop the puck! Join us for an action-packed Bubble Hockey Tournament on Saturday, April 18th, starting at noon. Whether you're flying solo or teaming up with a partner, there's a bracket for you. The tournament runs in a double elimination format, meaning one loss doesn't end your run — you'll need to be beaten twice before you're out. Fight your way through the winners bracket or claw back through the losers bracket for a shot at the championship! Categories: • 1-on-1 – Pure skill, pure focus. Prove you can control the rods and run the table on your own. • 2-on-2 – Team up with your best partner and coordinate your way to the top. Communication and chemistry are just as important as reflexes. Puck drop is at noon — don't be late! Come ready to compete, have fun, and show off your skills under the dome. May the best player — or team — win! Saturday, April 18 Noon
