Last, but certainly not least...Mike serves as Chairman, helping guide the vision and bring the entire event together each year.
He values the social aspect of the committee and the opportunity to give back to the community, especially seeing an idea grow into a full-fledged event and the memories created along the way.
Outside of the committee, Mike is actively involved in Enfield Rotary Club, the Scantic River Watershed Association (including the Scantic Spring Splash), and the Enfield Society for the Detection of Thieves and Robbers.
Fun fact: Mike is a certified judge with the International Chili Society—despite the fact that spicy food makes him sweat buckets!
When asked about Mike, one committee member shared that he has grown with the committee and has seen it from every angle. As Chairman, he has stepped up through multiple transitions to keep the event running smoothly and on track. They noted that he consistently thinks about the volunteers, dedicates significant time and energy, and does his best to make sure everyone feels heard and supported.
