2009 Wear It Michigan! Campaign Schedule
Look for our special team of state conservation officers who will be out on the water this summer at the locations and events below in a specially marked “Wear It Michigan!” boat asking boaters they meet to take the “Wear It!” Pledge. Everyone who signs a pledge card will be entered in a weekly drawing to win a manual inflatable (Type III) life jacket that will have a “Wear It!” rubber logo sewn onto the life jacket.
