Walkerville Thrive’s 2nd Annual Midsummer Madness Community Picnic and Cornhole Tournament will be held Saturday, August 9, 2025 at Walkerville Village Park. The picnic will begin at noon, followed by the cornhole tournament, free children’s activities, a 50/50 drawing and a baked goods and produce sale. All proceeds from the event will go to fund future Walkerville Thrives events. Free hot dogs and lemonade will be provided. Attendees are asked to bring a dish to pass, their own table service, seating and any other non-alchoholic beverages they may prefer.
“This year prior to our community picnic, we would like to invite the community to a formal 'ribbon cutting' ceremony at the Pioneer House Museum at 11 a.m. where we will celebrate the museum’s updated facade and recognize the donors who made the project possible. With grants from the Community Foundation of Oceana County and the Great Lakes Energy People Fund, the village was able to have this historic home, turned museum, repainted this summer,” said Walkerville Thrives Rebuilding Community Committee member Sharon Hallack.
For those interested in participating in the cornhole tournament, registration is $10 per two-person team, all ages and will take place that day. Cornhole boards and other outdoor games will also be available to play for those not wanting to be a part of the tournament.
This event is being sponsored in part by Arbre Farms, Sanders Meats, Ed’s Orchard Market and Hansen Foods. For more information, please email walkervillercc@gmail.com
