SAWYER -- Hours of hard work paid off Saturday afternoon at the Family Fun Day at Little Trout Lake.
As part of the Michigan Works! "Earn While You Learn" Summer Program, teens from Gwinn, Sawyer, and Sands Township have spent four weeks cleaning up the park.
On Saturday, the group celebrated by hosting a Family Fun Day, featuring games, food, volleyball and basketball.
For organizers, it was a great way to show off the group's effort and work.
"I really think it's important to get people out, just to see that kids in this area are making an impact," said supervisor Kathryn Miller. "They want their community to be better, so they've been taking the time to fix the park up."
The event also featured concessions to help raise money for the Save the W campaign.
