HERE'S HOW PROMOTION'S HANDLED: Civilian Conservation Corps labor, under the supervision of the Michigan Department of Conservation and the National Park Service, builds the facilities at the Grayling Winter Sports Park, but the community promotes the project.

The results of energetic promotion arrive in the form of the more than 16,000 visitors who come to the park during the course of the season.
